There are more than twenty thousand species of orchids worldwide, each with its own unique and diverse forms: some have thick leaves like belts, while others are slender like grass blades; some have short stems that shrink into balls, while others hang like vines. The flowers are even more varied, some resembling butterflies in flight, others like hanging lanterns, and still others like exquisite slippers. The colors range from snow white to deep purple, even featuring vibrant patterns. They have a strong adaptability, finding a way to survive in environments from humid rainforests to dry rock walls. These tree-dwelling spirits require no soil; they only need a ray of sunlight and a bit of dew to bloom with astonishing beauty. PI
