Orchids are plants that come from the Orchidaceae, which is a widespread and diverse group of plants with blooms that are mostly colorful.

In the 1920s General Motors invested themselves in the Southside of Muncie. Along with them and other auto part makers, the Southside of Muncie continued to boom throughout the 50s and 60s.
