SHAPES AND SIZES

Orchidaceae is considered the most highly evolved family of the vegetal kingdom. This is due to the modifications of their extraordinary flowers, which sometimes have bizarre and even sinister forms.
The sizes of the plants and their flowers is also very variable. While some are small enough to be known as microorchids, others, like the climbing vanilla, can reach several meters in length. Some flowers are the size of a pin's head, and others can be as wide as 20 centimeters.
