Scientists have long ago ascertained that after asters which include such flowers as daisies and sunflowers, orchids comprise that largest family of flowers or flowering plants. After all, they have estimated that today, there are approximately 34,000 species of orchids thriving all over the world. To add to that enormous number of species, there are also hundreds of thousands of hybrids in existence and that count is continually increasing.<\/p>\n
Having uncovered a fossilized orchid whose age has been estimated at roughly 20 million years, it is now recognized that orchids have been around during the dinosaurs period and so their existence on earth could date back about 100 million years.<\/p>\n
Apart from glaciers and deserts, orchid plants can be found everywhere on our planet and they thrive quite nicely where it is very cold or very hot, very humid and rather dry as well as in lower elevations and the highest peaks.<\/p>\n
Within the contents of this small article, I cannot possibly give you a full list of all the orchid species and\/or types. But I have compiled a shortened list that consists of the most commonly known orchids and here they are before you:<\/p>\n
*\tCattleya
\n*\tOncidium
\n*\tDendrobium
\n*\tCymbidium
\n*\tPaphiopedilum
\n*\tVanda
\n*\tPhalaenopsis
\n*\tLaelia
\n*\tAnguloa
\n*\tPhaius
\n*\tSophronitis
\n*\tBrassia
\n*\tMiltonia
\n*\tAnguloa
\n*\tBulbophyllum
\n*\tEpidendrum<\/p>\n
But you might ask want makes an orchid more popular than any other? Well, I will be happy to give you my opinion which may or may not necessarily be accurately factual.<\/p>\n
I do believe that what makes one orchid type more popular than others are the following factors:<\/p>\n
*\tIf an orchid can easily be transported from its natural environment and then grown well in other locations, it will become popular.
\n*\tIf an orchid is resilient and robust enough to endure imperfections in the lighting, the levels of humidity and the temperature variances it receives, it will most likely gain popularity.
\n*\tIf a particular orchid has a gorgeous bloom and that is large, colorful and lasting long periods of time, that orchid will probably become popular.<\/p>\n
