- Other orchids ...
The orchid family is enormous, with over 30,000 natural species plus countless hybrids and those produced by floriculturists.
They are highly valued for their showy flowers and/or their fragrance. Some are ornamental, while others have practical uses, like vanilla. Some are difficult to domesticate, while others are wild and very successful. Because they differ in size, lifespan, light, nutrient, and climate requirements, it's essential to consider their specific needs for successful cultivation.
Therefore, floriculturists specialize in a wide range of species. The list above represents the most popular and domesticated orchids. They are by no means the most beautiful; they are simply a small sample.
If you have a favorite species, or several, tell us about them. There may be an expert in our network of floriculturists who cultivates them and can help you resolve any issues or acquire the one you're looking for.
