April 16th is #NationalOrchidDay in the United States. Do other countries also observe it?

April 16th #orchid of the day:
Lycaste Firebird, from a few years ago.
Happy National Orchid Day!

Paphiopedilum lowii (species orchid). This is the first time flowering of one of my young P. lowii plants. I removed the flower spike in late March so as not to stress the plant (however the flower is still open in water!). Orchiholism British Paphiopedilum Society #Paphiopedilum #lowii

Paphiopedilum hirtuitissimum esquerolei now fully open! One of my favourites! Orchiholism

Coelogyne cristata alba, an epiphytic species orchid in my collection that has recently finished flowering. I have two divisions both mounted on cork bark. It is native to the Himalayas. I love pure white flowers.

North America has over 200 orchids—but over half are threatened or endangered somewhere they once thrived. Scientists with our North American Orchid Conservation Center work to save endangered species like ghost orchids, which in the U.S. grow only in Florida. #FutureOfOrchids

When LittlePod launched in 2010, we were told that vanilla could be lost within a generation if we didn't act immediately.

Fourteen years on, vanilla remains an endangered species on the IUCN Red List.
