In a series of notable recent events, Orchid Island Capital is getting a variety of attention, which runs the gamut from being rescued during a typhoon to speculation about its market sentiment. Environmental factors are impacting the habitats of Asian orchids, specifically the Bulbophyllum odoratissimum and its main host Pistacia weinmannifolia, due to climate change. Further developments within the botanical sphere point to the acquisition of Natalie’s Orchid Island Juice Company by Perricone Farms, and plans for the LEGO Botanical Collection in 2025, rumoured to feature orchids. On the conservation front, efforts to protect a tiny wild orchid span over 40 years, and new research in Vietnam seems poised to tackle the issue of illegal orchid trafficking. Other highlights include the use of the Cattleya Orchid as a museum show metaphor for colonialism, a ghost orchid gaining increased legal protection, and news of the FDA expanding the indication for Linear Health Sciences’ Orchid Safety Release Valve. In the fashion industry, the Women’s Air Jordan 1 Low and Air Jordan 2/3 are blossoming in Orchid, whereas in hospitality, the luxurious Fairmont Orchid Hotel was featured on 'The Bachelorette'. Several Orchid societies are making news too, both for their shows and conservation efforts. Lastly, Stanley’s Orchid Glimmer Quencher tumbler got a surprise restock.
