- ""Orchideous!" and a bunch of flowers burst from the wand tip."
- — Garrick Ollivander's use of this spell[src]
Orchideous was the incantation of a transfiguration spell that conjured a bouquet of flowers from the tip of the caster's wand.[1] The movement for this spell was to move one's wand in a circle in the air.[2]
Known uses
| Caster(s) | Date | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Minerva McGonagall & Jacob's sibling | 1987–1988 school year | While teaching the Fourth years, McGonagall demonstrated the successful casting of this spell which Jacob's sibling duplicated.[2]
  |
| Garrick Ollivander | November 1994 | Ollivander used this spell in 1994 when he tested Fleur Delacour's wand at the Wand weighing ceremony before the Triwizard Tournament. The spell probably conjured orchids or some flowers, which Ollivander gave to Fleur after conjuring them.[1] |

Etymology
From the Latin "Orchideae", the name for the orchid plant family.
Behind the scenes
- "Remember you can use the Orchideous Jinx to transfigure your opponent into a flowering shrub."
- — Bartemius Crouch Junior (disguised as Alastor Moody)[src]
- In the video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, orchideous is the incantation for a spell called the "Orchideous Jinx". This jinx, which takes the form of pink/purple light, can transform certain enemies into a flower, a bouquet of flowers, or a flowering shrub.
- Tom Riddle once "produced a bunch of roses from nowhere" for Hepzibah Smith, which was either sleight of hand or possibly this spell (or a similar one) cast nonverbally.[3]
Hermione's possible use of this spell
- This spell, or a variation of it, may have been used on 24 December, 1997 by Hermione Granger to conjure a wreath of Christmas roses nonverbally for Harry Potter to place on the graves of James Potter and Lily Evans.[4]
