Growing Orchids
Orchids are among the most diverse of the flower families. There are approximately 25,000 species of orchids, and over 800 genera. In addition to this very large population of naturally growing orchids, there have been over 100,000 hybrids created by horticulturists since the 1800s.
Strangely, the orchids get their name from the Greek word orchids, which means "testicle." This was name was coined almost 300 years by Theophrastos. Theophrastos was a student of Aristotle and is considered by many the father of botany. Orchids can be found to be naturally occurring on every continent except for Antarctica. Orchids are also found in all habitats but the desert. What makes orchids so unique and beautiful are the variations found in their leaves and color. An orchid can be found in almost every shape, size, and color imaginable.
