  • World's Most Spectacular Plants Episode 12 of 14
    www.spectacularplants.com
    Orchids have captured the imaginations of horticulturists for centuries. In Victorian times, fever for exotic orchids exploded as ever more spectacular and stunning species were discovered. Not least with the finding of several spectacular slipper orchids Paphiopedilum lowii, P. rothschildianum and P. sanderianum.
    In addition to their spectacular colours, the flowers of orchids often take highly evolved forms, such as the bee orchids and flying-duck orchids. Many species trick pollinators in cunning ways.
    In some orchids, the flowers are small and plain, but the leaves can have iridescent patterns and striking colours, such as the jewel orchids of the genus Ludisia.
    A few orchids can grow without any soil at all, such as Vanda orchids, while others have evolved to produce no leaves, but rather, achieve photosynthesis via special, green roots when growing as epiphytes.
    Believe it or not, but you have probably eaten an orchid recently. Or at least vanilla flavouring, which comes from the orchid Vanilla planifolia!
    In this film, join Stewart McPherson on a journey to discover the world's most unbelievable orchids. Learn how to grow orchids and home, and which species are among the most spectacular and most fun to cultivate!
    This is the twelfth of a series of fourteen "World's Most Spectacular Plants" videos. Visit www.spectacularplants.com to see the rest of the series!

    I'm really enjoying these. I had no idea vanilla was from orchids. I always thought it was a weird bean.

      If you don't currently have one, get yourself an orchid to look after. They are incredibly rewarding and the flowers last a si,ly amount of time...

    Happened into an orchid show in the National Arboretum in Washington, D.C.
    People were there from all over the world,
    with the most amazing photographic equipment.
    It was free.

    🍀🌿☘️🌸 There’s a rare orchid deep in the Amazon jungle that it said to have the ingredients to immortality or longer health describe by natives and early explorers. But with all the jungle being burn down we might never find that orchid or many others plants that could potentially have beneficial health benefits.

    Can someone recommend an orchid I might be able to grow here in Central Mexico. Summer time humidity is extremely low, often in the single digits. When I lived in the Florida Keys I was able to successfully grow several varieties to Orchid on my porch, but of course the humidity is very high there. Now that I live here in Mexico I miss having Orchids.

    • @OmaeWaMoShindeiRYU

    Lovely video, however, a correction to the video. Tissue culture is not performed on paphiopedillum. They are grown from seed.

    • @BiteMyShinyMetal4ss

      Interesting... i wonder why tissue culture doesnt work on that paticular orchid kind.

  • @onetwocue

    What's an orchids oldest ancestor? Where did they evolve from? Or are orchids themselves still primitive?

    • @BiteMyShinyMetal4ss
      @BiteMyShinyMetal4ss 3 роки тому +1

      You might be surprised, but the orchid family is one of the youngest of all plants.

    Interesting observation I made with the orchid Zygopetalum. The flower has a strong hyacinth scent, and when the flower dies off and turns brown, it smells like cinnamon.
