Description

This Green Field Sweetheart Orchid is a member of the Doritaenopsis family of orchids. It is a hybrid of a phalaenopsis. It's incredible color, here portrayed in a light purple, is a standout among exotic flowers.

This version of the flower is against a black background. Other versions included in my Orchid are against a white background and a woven Hawaiian lauhala mat background.

Currently, between 21,950 and 26,049 accepted species of orchids are known. The term applied to all is Orchidaceae, with more than 100,000 hybrids.

The Vanilla plant is from the orchid family.

All orchids are perennial plants, lacking a trunk. They are seasonal, with some varieties flowering during spring-summer; others during fall-winter.
