FDC charity 2022: Orchids

Description

There are more than 20.000 different species of orchids worldwide, making it a large family with a huge variety of shapes and forms. Most widely known are the exotic flowering houseplants, such as Phalaenopsis. 55 species of Orchidaceous have been recorded in Luxembourg, although not all of them can actually be found anymore. This is one reason why all orchids that grow in the wild in Luxembourg are protected.
