Orchid

Orchid are a family of over 25,000 species and are famous for their stunning and diverse blooms. Their flowers have evolved to attract specific pollinators such as bees, flies, and hummingbirds. Many orchids are epiphytes, meaning they grow on other plants rather than in soil, and are found in a variety of ecosystems from tropical rainforests to arctic tundras.
