AMR FLOWERS The Six Most Popular Orchid Types
Orchids are a wonderfully diverse group of flowering plants that can be found all over the world. The varieties of orchid flowers are seemingly endless. In terms of commercial importance, the most commonly cultivated orchids types can be classified into six major groups. The following list represents the primary orchids that one would find as houseplants, in flower arrangements, and otherwise grown for sale or display. The list is in alphabetical order.
Cattleya Perhaps the most popular and best known of the orchids The Cattleyas have very large showy flowers and are commonly used in corsages. They have been highly hybridized and some of the hybrids are some of the easiest orchids to grow. They will tolerate a wide range of conditions but ideally like bright light, cooler nights, and medium humidity.
Cymbidiums These orchids produce long sprays (flower stems) of 20-30 beautiful flowers, primarily in white or shades of pink. They are native to the higher altitude regions of India and Southeast Asia. They thrive and bloom best with warm days with high light intensity and significantly cooler night time temperatures. For this reason, they are difficult to keep as houseplants but can do very well in greenhouse conditions. Some species of Cymbidiums can be kept outdoors in areas that can supply the high light/warm day/cool night combination.
Cypripedium These are most recognizable as the "lady's slipper" orchids. They grow in lower light, moist areas like Northern bogs although some species can be found in tropical parts of Asia. They are terrestrial orchids that prefer moist soil that does not dry out. Many of the Cypripediums can houseplants and with their unique pouch- like flower they make an excellent addition to any plant collection. be kept as
Dendrobium This is one of the largest groups within the Orchid family and within the dedrobiums, there is wide variation in both the plants and the flowers. D. nobile and its hybrids have long, arching flower sprays. They are among the most popular and least expensive orchids available. Like many tropical orchids they prefer it warm and humid.
Oncidium Most varieties of Oncidiums are very adaptable to home environments and as such are a good choice for the beginning orchid keeper. The most well known Oncidiums are the "Dancing Ladies", so named for their long sprays of flowers that are said to resemble ballet dancers.
Vanda The Vandas include some of the most beautiful and striking flowers within all of the orchid types. They come in nearly every color and a wide variety of sizes. One of the most attractive characteristics of the Vandas is that their flowers last a long time compared to most other orchids. In addition, some Vanda species will flower multiple times a year.
