About Me

Darwin's Orchids
Welcome. Orchidaceae is one of the largest families of flowering plants. There is roughly 25,000 species found in 880 genera. The number of orchid species equals more than twice the number of bird species, and about four times the number of mammal species. Some blooms last a day, and some can last up to 9 months. Here, I will document the orchids blooming in my life. If you are interested in purchasing orchids visit us at Florali in Walnut Creek.
