第一堂：我們的文心蘭生活 Our First Lesson in the Life of Oncidium
從2024年開始，我們對文心蘭的利用變得更加精緻和高效。在朋友的介紹下，我們聯絡到了Yuty_deco。第一次的拜訪與交流，促成了首次的文心蘭生活小品課程和佈置。雖然蘭花在台灣的黃金時期已過，但在日常生活中並不常見，通常只出現在特殊的飯店大廳或節慶場合。
Starting in 2024, We aim to make the use of Oncidium more refined and efficient. Through a friend's introduction, we connected with Yuty_deco. Our initial visit and discussion led to the first lifestyle workshop and arrangement featuring Oncidium. Although the golden age of orchids in Taiwan has passed, these flowers are rarely seen in everyday life, usually appearing only in special hotel lobbies or festive occasions.
在第一次拜訪後，我們收到了Yuty的想法，並迅速行動起來。使用四月當季的花鱉頭文心，一些實生苗Hwuluduen 2185與2172，以及原生種，在Kamaro’an完成了第一次的落地。
After the first visit, we received Yuty's ideas and quickly took action. Using April's seasonal Oncidium flowers, some seedling varieties Hwuluduen 2185 and 2172, and native species, we completed our first sensory and on-ground arrangement at Kamaro’an.
以往我們從未踏出所謂的圈子，包括園子、同溫層以及愛好者群，這些圈子緊密封閉，讓人難以靠近。這可能是蘭花界在我們90世代後完全斷掉關聯的原因之一，失去了關注和新的愛好者。
Previously, we had never stepped out of our so-called circles, including the garden, the echo chamber, and enthusiasts' groups. These circles were tightly closed, making them hard to approach. This may be one of the reasons why the orchid world lost connection with the post-90s generation, losing attention and new enthusiasts.
積極開發和曝光變成了必要之事。我們必須跨出栽培界的框架，讓新世代了解文心蘭並非脆弱不堪，也不是嬌貴難養。我們需要深刻反省，為什麼這一世代中蘭花失去了原有的吸引力？是否過度商業化削弱了文心蘭的欣賞價值？過度保護是否讓花朵只能在溫室中被觀賞？
Active development and exposure have become necessary. We must step out of the cultivation frame, letting the new generation understand that Oncidium orchids are neither fragile nor difficult to care for. We need to deeply reflect on why orchids lost their original appeal to this generation. Has excessive commercialization weakened the appreciation value of Oncidium orchids? Has overprotection limited the flowers to being viewed only in greenhouses?
我們開始了第一堂跨界活動，讓大家知道文心蘭不僅能待在花盆中，放在地上佈置也能夠更吸引人。我們也希望透過這堂共同的生活課程，重新將蘭花帶入大家的視野中。這個過程可能會很長，但絕對會吸引人。第一堂課不僅是文心蘭進入佈置的開始，更是我們在重新規劃和定義這一事物的道路上邁出的重要一步。
We began our first cross-disciplinary activity, letting everyone know that Oncidium orchids can be more attractive not only in pots but also when arranged on the ground. Through this shared lifestyle workshop, we hope to bring orchids back into everyone's view. This process may be long, but it will definitely be engaging. The first class was not only the beginning of incorporating Oncidium orchids into arrangements but also a significant step in our journey to re-plan and redefine this art form.
