Orchids: A Wonderful Ornamental Plant

Abstract

The most exquisite flowers and long-lasting qualities of ORCHIDS make them among God's creations regarded as the most beautiful in the entire world. They are perennial herbs that are members of the Orchidaceae family. In addition to hybrids regularly created, there are reported to be nearly 25000 orchid species spread across 730 genera. Epiphytes include orchids, which are plants that grow on trees. Terrestrial refers to those that grow on the ground. Lithophytes are those that grow on rocks, while saprophytes are some relatively unknown ones that grow on decomposing matter or rotting logs. A few orchid species can grow partially submerged in water, with only the inflorescence occasionally reaching the surface.
