A flower shop with a wide variety of orchids that bloomed as part of the artwork Floating Flower Garden.

The flowers in Floating Flower Garden are all from the orchid family. Orchids that are displayed in the space, usually grow in areas without soil, such as on trees and rocks. 

Even if the petals of the orchids fall, flowers will bloom again if the plants are taken care of. Orchids are said to have a lifespan of over 100 years, and live on for eternity if new bulbs develop.

Orchids were flowering plants that most enjoyed diversity during evolution, and it is said that approximately 10% of all terrestrial plant species belong to the orchid family. Because of their diversity, many orchids evolved to become most adapted to live on rocks and trees instead of land with soil where other plants grew abundantly. In an area without soil, in other words, traditionally a least favorable environment for plants, orchids evolved to be most adapted for a world without competition. They are thought to have appeared at a later stage of evolution compared to other plants, and continue to diversify to this day, making us wonder what evolution chose to favor.
