#There are many types of orchids, with over 20,000 species in the world. One of the most popular orchids is the moth orchid, which got its name from the fact that their flowers were first mistaken as moths when they were first discovered by Swedish naturalist, Peter Osbeck.

#Although orchids have a reputation for being symbols of fertility and elegance, different colored orchids have a diverse range of symbolisms.
@Sanderlla......
#White orchids symbolize innocence and purity, as well as elegance and reverence.
#Pink orchids symbolize femininity, grace, and joy.
#Yellow orchids symbolize friendship and new beginnings. They make great gifts for a friend to celebrate an accomplishment.
#Purple orchids symbolize royalty and admiration, and are traditionally given as a sign of respect.
#Orange orchids symbolize pride, enthusiasm, and boldness.

#The pink orchid is the traditional flower of a couple’s 14th and 25th wedding anniversary.
#Orchids rely on symbiotic relationships with fungi to survive, which makes them highly adaptable to a wide variety of ecosystems.
Orchids have origins in every continent with the exception of Antarctica.
#The world’s smallest orchid grows to be only 2 mm wide, and its flowers are only a single-cell thick.
#The slipper orchid has a unique method of pollination. It lures the pollinator, an insect, into its slippery pouch. The only escape for the victim is to crawl through a very narrow crevice within the plant, forcing it to rub against the attached pollen. When the insect falls victim to another slipper orchid, cross-pollination occurs through the same process.

#The orchid has medicinal applications as well. In China, the orchid has been cultivated for thousands of years, and is used as a natural remedy for coughs, diseases of the kidney, lung, stomach and eye....
