Sorry ~ does not compute. Orchids were subjected to intense domestication in the 1600-1900 period. Commercial growers were rewarded with earlier blooming varieties to sell to customers.
This study proves that tulips were amenable to domestication ~ nothing more than that.

OK, we’ve got to start a new cult. Look how DRY it was back then, we must now have a “global wetting” problem! :-)
