Orchids

The Orchid is one of the most abundant plant types on Earth, with around 28,000 species currently known, and found all over the planet. These flowering plants vary in size, shape and location. They attract pollinators (animals that polinate the flower) in many ways, and often produces thousands, or even millions, of tiny seeds at a time.

The Orchid family encompasses about 6–11% of all species of seed plants.
Horticulturists (gardeners) have produced more than 100,000 hybrids and cultivars.
Orchid flowers are symmetrical. Each flower can be divided perfectly in half, with two equal parts.
Orchids take about 5-7 years to bloom once germinated. Plants sold in stores are already decades old!
Orchids have the tiniest seeds in the world. A single seedpod can have up to 3 million seeds inside! The seeds are so small they can only be seen under a microscope.
