The Orchidaceae family is one of the two largest families of flowering plants with more than 28,000 species and 763 genera. As I have mentioned before, there are also a huge number of hybrids and variations. We saw these lovely flowers in the National Botanic Garden Conservatory. Considering the temperature and the high humidity in the glass-enclosed structure, it is obvious why our prior efforts to keep orchids alive in our home did not succeed.
