 The Complete Encyclopedia of Orchids takes you to the wonderful world of "the green of the realm of plants," Orchidaceae - a plant family of an extraordinary diversity of species. The main habitat of orchids is found in the tropical regions around the world, where an overwhelming number of epiphytic species inhabit primarily the higher arboreal levels of tropical rainforests. These orchids in particular have become highly sought-after flowers; gardeners and lay admirers cultivate them in greenhouses and households in cooler regions, where there is no chance to see them in the wild. But even the Temperate Zone has its orchids. This region is a home of terrestrial Orchidaceae that often grow there inconspicuously, without even being associated with their showy tropical relatives. And yet, they are orchids too, as the photographs in the last chapter of this book reveal. |
