The orchid: one of the most famous and most beloved flowers.

The orchid is perhaps one of the most famous and most beloved flowers in the world and well taken care of this flower can give great satisfaction.

There are about 650 kinds of orchids and over 22,000 existing species and there are hundreds of associations and clubs around the world who cultivate this wonder. The family of *Orchidaceae* is practically one of the largest in the plant kingdom

The meaning of this flower as for many other flowers changes with the culture in China, for example, is a symbol of sophistication, culture, and purity, and in fact, is a very unique flower for its elegance.

A peculiar way his story in Greek mythology. Orchis was a young beautiful and very enterprising with women, during a party, attempted to rape a priestess of the dio *Dionisio* committing sacrilege. Revenge was immediate and was mauled by wild beasts. From its ruins, he arose a plant that reproduced in the two bulbs, their male anatomical appendages that had been due to misfortune.
