Tog i was under the inpretion that almost all orchids to some dreg have toxic chemicals in there cells so you all may in-fact eat other types of orchids but it doesn't mean they are good for you some how i just do not want to eat my Phalaenopsises Leafs looking at my Orchids the are all old and some what smelly looking so all pass the Phal Leafs on to the next guy at the table of life LOL
