Wonderful Orchids Show Remarkable Diversity and Cultivation
A botanist discusses orchids, noting bee and fly orchids resembling their namesakes and other varieties such as man, heart, and lady's slipper. Orchids grow on bark, in decayed wood, and mossy rocks, with many species found in South American forests. Recently, under care, cultivated orchids reach high perfection in greenhouses, while exotic varieties adorn homes in China and Japan. There are about two thousand known species and likely many more awaiting discovery in tropical forests.
