Except for black, orchids have all the colors of the rainbow. Even if they are rare, there are even blue orchids, which also bloom in dual colors. Orchids know how to attract insects to pollination. Certain types, such as the bee orchid, mimic the shape of an insect to attract them. Some types of orchids look exactly like an animal, such as monkey orchid or some imitation birds, such as white orchid orchid or duck-orchid orchid. Orchids grow almost anywhere and can even flourish under the ground. An orchid grown in China has arrived and remained in the Book of Records for its 91 flowers. Despite the extreme rarity, some orchid species make up about 10% of all plant species on the planet. Scientists have discovered over 25,000 species of wild orchids, and nearly 10 times more hybrid varieties. Hundreds of new wild species are discovered each year.
