While I wouldn't necessarily disagree with PR, it isn't always
*just* marketing. If you read on the label, noticing the "source"
of the ingredients, it may shed some light on an answer to your
question. Orchids grow either *in* trees, or *under* trees... and
their normal source of fertilizer would be bird droppings, (besides
the normal "food" that they would receive from the (nitrogen-rich)
rain, and normal decomposition of the stuff falling on them and
their habitat... It is also highly probable that the source was
chosen to influence the pH of the "food", specifically *for* orchids.
We most always think that food is food, but it isn't always so!
They don't even break down at the same rate of speed...
cheers,
