Orchids are the largest family of flowering plants on Earth, with more than 25,000 species. In fact, there are more orchids than mammals and birds combined.
Orchids have been around for a long time and are believed to have existed since before the continents separated.
Orchids have a unique flower structure and function to attract pollinators. They come in a wide variety of colors, and each color has a different meaning. For example, white orchids symbolize purity and innocence, while pink orchids symbolize grace, femininity, and joy.
Orchids are highly prized for their beauty and are often associated with luxury and elegance.
Orchids are popular as houseplants and are also cultivated for cut flowers and for use in perfumes and other fragrances
