'There are many apps to help you identify your orchid and you can look up varieties on the American Orchid Society Website ,' says Virginia Hayes, specialist at Westerlay Orchids.
'Since there are close to 30,000 different varieties of orchids, you can also identify your orchid by their roots, flower and leaves. The size, shape, and color of the blooms can help with identification, although it can be difficult to determine an orchid species based solely on these characteristics,' she says.
