Many Orchids.

in #flowers8 years ago

I love flowers. I love Orchids.

This photo is from a flower store.

These are some facts about this beautiful plant:

  • They belong to the Orchidaceae, and there are more than 28,000 species of them. 
  • Many of them get their nutrition by parasitizing soil fungi. Others grow anchored to trees and shrubs or on rocks.
  • There are clubs and societies dedicated to encouraging cultivation and collection of orchids.
  • The well known Vanilla is also part of the orchid family.
  • Orchids are National Flowers in Venezuela, Colombia' Belize, Panama, Guatemala, and Singapore.

Wooow cool @antonella😊🙏
A majority of orchids are perennial epiphytes, which grow anchored to trees or shrubs in the tropics and subtropics

orchids are quality flowers

Undoubtedly the orchids are beautiful, I know very well I am Venezuelan and it is very common to see them in the gardens of the houses.
