Orchidaceae (the Orchid Family)
Orchids are part of a diverse family of botanical flowering plants with thousands of species and varieties. They are one of the oldest flowering plants and are found all over the world. All orchids have three petals, three sepals (which often look like petals), and a column. They also have a protruding lip (labellum) which acts as a landing pad for pollinating insects. The unique symmetrical nature of an orchid's blossom makes it easily distinguishable from other flowering plants. (Each flower can be divided in half to make two equal parts.)
