Fun orchid facts!

1. There can be up to 3 million seeds in a single orchid seedpod.
   You’ll never see them though, they are the size of a speck of dust and are only visible under a microscope. Part of the reason for their small size is that they lack an endosperm and have no nutrients within. They require contact with a particular fungus to germinate and grow. We find this fact particularly interesting!
2. It takes patience to grow an orchid.
   The plant’s first flowers won’t appear until at least 5 to 7 years after germination. The houseplants you find in stores are often a decade old.
3. Some orchid flowers bloom for mere hours, while others last up to half a year.
   Phaleanopsis orchids are versatile enough to last in a cut flower arrangement longer than most.
4. Orchid flowers always grow upside down when mature.
   The orchid can have enough blooms to be heavy enough for the orchid to hang down.
5. Orchid plants can live to be up to 100 years old.
