Very few flowers can claim as many admirers as the orchid. In fact there are thousands of groups, societies and newsletters dedicated to these mysterious flowers. But what is so special about orchids? Well, orchids are the largest group of flowering plants in the world with 25,000 to 30,000 species and more than 100,000 hybrids. Orchids are also the most rapidly changing group of plants on earth. More new species have been discovered in the last few thousand years than any other plant group. Orchids are also the most adaptable plant on earth, with numerous species growing in as varied environments as tundras, rainforests, mountains, grassy plains, deserts and swamps. In these natural environments, each orchid species is dependent upon a specific type of insect to carry out its pollination. Orchids also range widely in size from more than 20 feet tall to only inches. And this is just the beginning of what makes the orchid such an enticing and desirable flower.
