I love flowers, even orchids but I haven't posted flowers for a while now.
I found this gorgeous orchid yesterday at my aunt's. She says it was a gift from someone.
Orchids come in many colours and shapes but I guess this one is my favourite so far.

the appeal of flowers is lost. Sure, they look pretty and smell nice, but are they a functional gift.

!STOP!Hi @erikah Lovely your post. Orchid species - Philippines
Orchidaceae, the Orchid family, is the largest family of the flowering plants (Angiospermae).
The Royal Botanical Gardens of Kew list 880 genera and nearly 22,000 accepted species, but the exact number is unknown (perhaps as many as 25,000) because of taxonomic disputes. The number of orchid species equals about four times the number of mammal species, or more than twice the number of bird species. It also encompasses about 6–11% of all seed plants. About 800 new orchid species are added each year. The largest genera are Bulbophyllum (2,000 species), Epidendrum (1,500 species), Dendrobium (1,400 species) and Pleurothallis (1,000 species). The family also includes the Vanilla (the genus of the vanilla plant), Orchis (type genus) and many commonly cultivated plants like some Phalaenopsis or Cattleya.
There are about 944 species of orchids endemic to the Philippines, many of them have showy, brightly colored and attractive flowers.
Have a wonderful night
A hug
Thank you for the info!
