The orchids are a large and diverse family of plants. Orchids or Orchidaceae are in the family of monocot flowering plants in the super order Liliiflorae. Orchids bloom in a range of colour and They also live in a range of habitats (full sun, shade, climbing, on rocks, trees or on the ground). There are however some distinguishing features about the orchids:

• Stamens and pistils (male and female parts) fused to form one structure known as a column.
• Three petals and three petal-like sepals (collectively called tepals).
• Seeds that are tiny and numerous.
• Lateral symmetry (usually has one different petal that forms a lip or labellum).
• Pollen usually bound together in pollinia (a few large masses of pollen within the anther cap).
• Flower stems tend to twists around during development .
