Tufa stone, used historically for the creation of grottos, is light and soft and weathers very easily - especially when subject to the ravages of acid rain. These horns of plenty have picked up a beautiful gnarled patina over the years but, in order to arrest this weathering, they are probably best kept indoors.

Although John Lindley is now known as a botanist of wide accomplishments, the study of orchids had been an area of special interest to him from early in his career when he was employed by the orchid specialist William Cattley.
