Abstract

Orchids are one of the largest families of flowering plants and are globally distributed. With a delicate, sculptural beauty and historical rarity, these exotic blooms carry an unrivalled symbol of refinement, luxury and mystery. There are more than 25,000 different types of orchids existing naturally among which 99% are accessible and available for cultivation, while 1% of tropical varieties still grow in virtually inaccessible habitats and have only been seen a handful of times.
