Orchids have attracted the attention of men and women for centuries as attested by Chinese chronicles since the time of Confucius.

Such attraction has prompted the work of important researchers, including Charles Darwin, and has resulted in a worldwide trade of plants and flowers.

However, the best way to enjoy these true jewels of forests (and savahnas) is to see them in their natural habitats, many of which are being currently destroyed in various parts of our planet.

The book "Orchids and Ecology in Colombia" is the best Guide that I know to explore the orchid habitats of one of the richest countries in terms of orchid species.
