A wild orchid grow

almost everywhere on earth only the arctic and the desert are “orchid free”. From the lofty mountains of the Himalayas to the deepest jungle their beautiful color can be spotted. There was a time when the population of these flowers was rapidly going down, this was because of poaching. Just as with any nature item which can be turn into money unscrupulous people looted the habitats of the species.

After strong controls came in and it became very difficult to get the plants smuggled out from certain countries among them many south east Asian countries, African and South American places. A further boost against looting the nature was the introduction of hybrid orchids from the nursery. This was already started more than hundred years ago in England but only the genetically breeding process in the lab was the key to industrialize orchid growing. Now they are grown in the nursery, garden and even at home.
