Description:
The orchid family (Orchidaceae) is the largest plant family with about 30,000
species in an amazing variety of colors, sizes and shapes. Most of them are
native to tropical rainforests, especially in the Americas and Asia. Many have
been brought into cultivation and there are currently about 100,000 registered
hybrids. The Hawaiian Islands, because of their great isolation, have only
three rather inconspicuous and rare native orchid species. However because its
climate is ideal for a high percentage of the orchid species of the world,
Hawaii has become a major center for orchid cultivation. Local orchid growers
on Maui put on spectacular shows for the Maui County Fair and other occasions.
Vanda orchids are the most popular ones for lei making in Hawaii.
