I am fortunate enough to encounter orchids often in my everyday life, and I wanted to share a little about them with you, along with some pictures I took of some beautiful fresh blooming orchids I came across.

Orchids
The scientific name for orchids is Orchidaceae . They are a diverse group of flowering plants which are found all over the world. The flowers are sometimes white but there are colourful varieties with many different shades. They are also known to be fragrant. The orchid family is one of the largest family of flowering plants with over 28,000 species, By comparison the number of orchid species is twice the number of total bird species and four times the number of mammal species.

In South America orchids are the national flower for several countries and cities.

For example, the orchid is the City Flower of Shaoxing, China. Cattleya mossiae is the national Venezuelan flower, while Cattleya trianae is the national flower of Colombia. Vanda 'Miss Joaquim' is the national flower of Singapore, Guarianthe skinneri is the national flower of Costa Rica and Rhyncholaelia digbyana is the national flower of Honduras.[29] Prosthechea cochleata is the national flower of Belize, where it is known as the black orchid.[30] Lycaste skinneri has a white variety (alba) that is the national flower of Guatemala, commonly known as Monja Blanca (White Nun). Panama's national flower is the Holy Ghost orchid (Peristeria elata), or 'the flor del Espiritu Santo'. Rhynchostylis retusa is the state flower of the Indian state of Assam where it is known as Kopou Phul.[31]

Conclusion Part 1
I think orchids are beautiful flowers, which come in a great variety of colors, sizes and shapes.
I have previously featured a great variety of orchids on my blog.

This is your classic white orchid.

The white orchid also comes with spots.

Or they can come with stripes!

Or they can be white with a pink center.

They can even reverse the color pattern all together into something unique.

The color variety is almost endless.

Conclusion Part 2
Orchids come in a wide variety of shapes and colors, each beautiful to see and behold.
They require some care, watering, weeding, shooing birds, protecting from direct sun and strong winds, as well as snails, but we all need a little me time, each day to walk, carry, dig, squat and climb, while we process the stress of the day and unwind a bit while we get a little exercise. This my choice for exercise and time away from the world, the products of which I share with you. I hope you enjoy their beauty.

Hello, @shortsegments. Thank you for using realityhubs. Nice flowers! The colours are great and pleasant. That said, the content on this post is mostly repetitive and not original. Roughly 80% of the information is sourced from somewhere else. For a better review, you need to get creative, informative and make your content editorial. That is really what defines review. Please kindly put this into consideration on your next review.

Cheers

These are all my pictures. This material is not sourced from somewhere else. This is very unfair statement for you to make.

Hello, there. Not saying that the pictures are not your original work. My point is, most of the information you shared were taken from somewhere else and not really your original write-up. I was referring to the text, not pictures.
