Experience the World of Orchids

Orchids have a reputation for being exquisitely delicate, achingly rare, and utterly impossible to grow.

In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. Orchids are one of the largest families of flowering plants, with species found on every continent except Antarctica, from above the Artic circle to the southernmost tip of South America. They include everything from the incredibly rare Hawaiian bog orchid to the phalaenopis orchids that you see in every grocery story floral department to the humble yet delicious vanilla orchid. Yep. Vanilla comes from the fruit of an orchid.
