The orchid flower is easily discernable from other plant species in the wild by its very distinguishable and unique flower, which comes in many colours and sizes. In their natural state, orchids will achieve their growth while anchored to trees and shrubs. When cultivating these beautiful blooms in a garden bed, rocks and a rocky soil will gain you the best results. These Perennial herbs grow in two differing ways – the elegant monopodial orchids have a single bud, whereas the attractive sympodial orchids have multiple shoots that contain blooms on each shoot.
