Did you know?
Orchids represent one of the largest and most diverse flowering plant families, with over 25,000 species found across nearly every continent except Antarctica. Their exotic reputation stems partly from their complex pollination mechanisms and rarity in the wild; many species have evolved specialized shapes and colors to attract specific pollinators. Prized for centuries in cultivation, particularly in Victorian-era hothouse collecting, orchids symbolize elegance, luxury, and strength across many cultures.
