Orchids are plants that belong to the family Orchidaceae, a diverse and widespread group of flowering plants with blooms that are often colourful and fragrant. The Orchidaceae have about 28,000 currently accepted species.
The number of orchid species is nearly equal to the number of bony fishes, more than twice the number of bird species, and about four times the number of mammal species.
The Mokara orchids are manmade orchids that can’t be found in nature. This group of orchids were created by cross breeding orchids of the genera Ascocentrum, Arachnis and Vanda. Different Mokara orchids where created using different species within these genera. The first Mokara orchid was presented to the world in Singapore in 1969. Since then countless other types have been developed. The beautiful flower in my image is a Purple Spotted Mokara Orchid.
