What is an Orchid?

Orchids are a very large family of flowering plants. They are famous for their colorful and often fragrant flowers. There are tens of thousands of different orchid species around the world. They grow in many different habitats, from hot rainforests to cold mountains.

Liparis nervosa is a terrestrial orchid. This means it grows directly in the soil, unlike some orchids that grow on trees. It prefers places with some shade, like the floor of a forest. It also thrives in open, grassy fields.

Where it Grows

This orchid is found across a wide range of tropical areas. It grows in many countries in Asia, such as India and China. In Africa, it can be seen in various regions. It also grows in parts of North and South America, including Florida in the United States.
