There is no limit on the number of varieites that exist when it comes to Orchids. Orchids are normally found in jungles clinging to trees. The orchid enthusiast will travel far and wide collecting different species and introduce them t orchid lovers. I have not succeeded in growing orchids They need a particular climate, particular soil and particular watering method. Nietther too much sun nor too little of it can destroy your orchids Hope one day I will succeed in growing them. Image credit:

I love orchids. But yes, they are difficult to maintain.

@allknowing No, I live in a city. I just buy orchids from floral shops. But they are difficult to maintain.

I have never tried to grow orchids. I don't think they would do well here anyway. I did have a friend years ago that had one indoors and it survived for several years.

@allknowing - I have no idea from where my orchids came. My Mom arranged the church decoration and the bouquet with her florist. I think that they come from The Netherlands.

Orchids are not easy to grow. Our neighbor used to grow one, and it looked lovely.

My mother has been successful with growing orchids but it took her a while. It makes sense they're a difficult species as they'd rather live on trees than inside vases. The vase has to be transparent for the sun to reach the roots and yes, they come with their unique watering method.
