Flowering Plant Picture, Orchid

Passmoore, Works Of Alexander & I.V.

These tropical epiphytes are so otherworldly. They're most at home in the treetops of jungles and rainforests. Yet somehow, they've been tamed by horticulture to the point where they'll thrive in just about any home. It's surprising more people don't take advantage of this. Why grow ordinary houseplants when you could have exotic, trouble-free specimens? Series Description: Monocotyledons of the first order, their 30,000 species-strong presence is a coup in the plant world. See also the Cymbidium and more general Flowers series.
