This is a very touching song and one I relate to well, probably my favorite from her. She considers herself an orchid which is a more delicate, beautiful, unique flower compared to a rose which is more durable and common. People mistaken her for a rose because of her strength or the assumption that she is just like everyone else when indeed she is not. She requires "special care". She maybe considered high maintenance to those who are more common, but someone who can see into her true beauty and treasure would understand why she needs so much cause in return she gives so much. Her level of intimacy is far deeper than those who she has been with. At first they admire her and she's even been bowed down to but over time they come to think she is too much to handle and they leave. It takes a unique, deep person to appreciate another unique, deep person. I know because I have this same struggle in my life and that is why I adore this song so much.

I agree; it's a very 'touching song." I've listened to it a few times. I have known orchids and I've always admired them. As a durable and common rose, I'm thankful that the world needs both kinds and it would be a very boring place without the diversity:) GOOD song.
