As you can see that my blog's name is Black Orchid (Anggrek Hitam), and this post is about the reason why I chose that name and what is the definition of my blog's name.
I am actually confused because when I wanted to post my blog's site on my other social media, it is always comes up with the name "cacanovelista" first and then "blackorchid" comes after that -__- I suppose to use 'blackorchid' only but yeah I'll work on that too.
So, BLACK ORCHID. Why black orchid? why not just Orchid?
Let's break this down in Indonesian. Shall we?..
Black Orchid or Anggrek Hitam bukanlah sesuatu yang asing untuk didengar khususnya anggrek apabila kita berdomisili di Indonesia atau Asia. Anggrek sendiri pada dasarnya merupakan jenis bunga yang unik, khas dan cantik. Kalau teman-teman pernah ke Papua atau berdomisili di Papua, pastinya pernah dan sering melihat berbagai jenis bunga anggrek dimana-mana. Satu hal yang membuat saya tertarik untuk menggunakan nama Anggrek Hitam adalah karena keunikan dan kelangkaan dari pada bunga tersebut. I can write two pages about this special flower, but to be exact you guys can read this article that I found where the explanation is very clear about Black Orchid (Anggrek Hitam).
In Bahasa: http://www.travelingbreak.com/pesona-si-cantik-misterius-bunga-anggrek-hitam/
In English: http://theorchidpot.blogspot.com.au/2012/04/black-orchids.html
Basically those websites are general definitions of Black Orchid. I chose to use this name because I never see black is a color. If in physics they said that Black does not have specific wavelength just like White, then for me Black is a complement. A complement is used to enhanced something else or let's break it as an example, like The Sun is a perfect complement to the sky, just like the Moon to the sky at night time..and the sentence goes on and on. So yeah, I believe that black is good with everything, just like when us wearing a bright and colourful shirts, we will choose something black (dark) with it so we don't look like a clown :D
Trust me, Black is perfect with everything, just like the other day when I was gonna buy a new phone and I used to have the white iPhone and now that I'm getting a new one, I thought Black will be perfect even though I know it will be damn hard to find my phone inside my black handbag -_- hahaha..
While Orchid itself, is my favourite flower, that flower represents my soul, where I belong, the uniqueness that not everyone can find it easily especially the Black Orchid. Although, I read many articles and books about how Black Orchid can symbolise as death and sadness, which I think in some part of the world it is true, as we always wear black at people's funeral.
Black Orchid is more like a mystery to me but at the same time it is expensive in the way that it is very hard to find and maintain, and it is beautiful and there is a luxury in itself. Therefore, we shall give it a big Yes to me for choosing this name because it is a mysterious, expensive and beautiful and luxury just like how it looks.
