Celebrate every moment with Mokaro Orchids & Spider Orchids

Orchids make up one of the largest and most diverse groups of flowering plants in the world. The orchid family includes more than 25,000 individual species that come from every continent except Antarctica, making them some of the best types of flowers you should have in your garden. The high volume of orchid varieties is due to the fact that in highly competitive plant environments, like tropical areas, orchids have to compete with other plants to attract pollinators. Because of this, orchids are some of our favorite flowers that attract bees and butterflies.
Blooming in every color except blue and black, orchids are known for their showy and sweet-smelling flowers, making them some of the best fragrant outdoor plants. Some orchids, like epidendrum orchids, thrive in the garden, while others like paphiopedilum orchids make for great indoor plants. Orchids may have a reputation of being difficult to care for, but certain types like phalaenopsis orchids can be some of the easiest flowers to grow.

Economic importance
The orchid family is probably one of the most important of plant families from a horticultural point of view. Other than the horticultural uses to which orchids are put, the family is notably lacking in species from which products are derived. The only commercially important product derived from orchids is vanilla. Most vanilla is produced from one species, Vanilla planifolia, although two additional species are also cultivated commercially (V. pompona and V. tahitensis). The principal vanilla-growing areas are Madagascar, Mexico, French Polynesia, Réunion, Dominica, Indonesia, the West Indies, Seychelles, and Puerto Rico. Vanilla is grown from sea level to about 600 metres in elevation. The plant is a climbing vine that is indigenous to the tropical regions of the Western Hemisphere.
