Orchids are cosmopolitan,in almost every habitat apart from deserts and glaciers.
Is a plant that have a symbiotic relationship with fungi that live in their roots, called mycorrhiza(forest trees). The fungi supply the orchid with which they absorb from
the dead organic matter.


All orchids have 3 petals and 3 sepals (outer segments). One of the petals, the lower, more attractive one, is modified; it is called the lip or labellum. In some orchids some of these parts are reduced or fused.
The two lateral sepals of Paphiopedilum are fused, for example. The petals and lip of Masdevallia are greatly reduced and the sepals are broadly joined, giving the flowers a distinctive triangular or tubular shape.
There are some plants which bear flowers greatly resembling orchids in this arrangement of flower parts.
