  Part of what I love with orchids is the amazing spectrum you get, from great big showy flowers, to incredibly intricate flowers smaller than a fingernail, to just plain weird (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhizanthella_gardneri). Though of course not that surprising when you consider that orchids represent nearly 10% of all Angiosperm species! Posted 9 years ago
