Orchid in the Orchideeënhoeve (Orchid Farm) in Luttelgeest, the Netherlands. Orchidaceae, commonly referred to as the Orchid family, is a morphologically diverse and widespread family of monocots. It is currently believed to be the second largest family of flowering plants, with between 22,000 and 26,000 currently accepted 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. It also encompasses about 6–11% of all seed plants. The family also includes Vanilla (the genus of the vanilla plant), Orchis (type genus) and many commonly cultivated plants such as Phalaenopsis and Cattleya. Moreover, since the introduction of tropical species in the 19th century, horticulturists have produced more than 100,000 hybrids and cultivars. Best known are the seemingly endless structural variations in the flowers that encourage pollination by particular species of insects, or bats, or birds. Another characteriistic of the family is the production of numerous minute seeds that have a symbiotic relationship with fungi in order to germinate. Orchidaceae are cosmopolitan, occurring in almost every habitat apart from deserts and glaciers. The great majority are to be found in the tropics, mostly Asia, South America and Central America, but they are also found above the Arctic Circle, and even on Macquarie Island, close to Antarctica. Orchidee in de Orchideeënhoeve in Luttelgeest (Noordoostpolder, Flevoland). De orchideeënfamilie (Orchidaceae) is een van de grootste plantenfamilies op aarde. Het aantal soorten wordt tussen de 22.000 en 26.000 geschat. Daarnaast zijn er mogelijk 100.000 cultivars. Orchideeën worden ook wel eens kort orchis genoemd, wat ook de naam van een specifiek geslacht is. Wereldwijd zijn meer dan duizend geslachten bekend welke verdeeld worden over tientallen subfamilies. Het grootste aantal orchideeën is te vinden in de tropen, voornamelijk in Azië, Zuid-Amerika en Midden-Amerika, maar ze zijn ook te vinden boven de poolcirkel en zelfs twee soorten op Macquarie Island, niet ver van Antarctica. Orchideeën staan bekend om hun bloemen, die er soms vreemd uit kunnen zien. Ook de wilde flora in de Benelux kent soorten met opvallende bloemen. Vaak zijn er speciale aanpassingen aan bepaalde soorten dieren en dan met name insecten. De bloem van een orchidee is meestal eenvoudig te onderscheiden van een andere bloem. De bloem is opgebouwd uit drie kelkbladen en drie kroonbladen. Het middelste kroonblad is afwijkend qua vorm en vergroot (de lip), zodat het een platform voor insecten vormt om makkelijker het centrum van de bloem te bereiken. De Orchideeënhoeve ( www.orchideeenhove.nl ) bestaat uit uiterst smaakvol en natuurlijk ingerichte thematuinen: de tropische-, de Taiwanese- en de Maleisische Tuin, en de Vlindervallei (vlindertuin) . Naast duizenden vaak zeldzame orchideeën zijn er ook vele andere prachtige tropische bloemen en planten te zien en te fotograferen. De orchideeënkwekerij kan ook bezocht worden. De overdekte tuinen zijn ieder circa 2000 m2 groot. De Orchideeënhoeve is meer dan een bezoek waard._____________________________________________________________________________ All rights reserved.
