Orchids
Orchids make wonderful plants for decorating the home. The flowers are colorful, unique, and long-lasting.
Orchids are popular houseplants and although there are countless species, they all have similar physical characteristics.
Orchids are easy to spot because of their arcs of branches, called spikes, covered with softly colored blooms in solid colors or speckles. Their petals and sepals (innermost petals) are typically found in groups of three. The bottom petal, usually called a lip or labellum, is shaped like that to host pollinators like bees if grown outdoors. Depending on the variety, an orchid's petals can have ruffled, shaped, or notched edges.
Orchid leaves are coated with a heavy waxy film to prevent water loss. Medium Difficulty
