It was originally named orchid because of the shape of the root. Orchids live in very wet climates where there is a lot of rainfall. Many species grow on trunks and branches of trees and on rocks in tropical places. In cooler places they grow close to the ground. They probably grow around summer or at the end of spring because they need lots of rain and lots of sun.
Orchids come in all colors but black.
They may be streaked, striped, spotted, or speckled in black as well as in all other colors. Orchids can be very small and very big.
