Orhideele - Orchids

Am primit de la mama o orhidee superba, galben cu picatele rosii. Recunosc, nu am avut niciodata o orhidee in pamant, doar deja rupte, ca atare nu cunosc prea multe despre aceasta planta. Am citit in carte ca familia orhideelor e cea mai mare din angiosperme, adica plantele care infloresc.

I received from my mother in law a gorgeous orchid, yellow with red dots. I admit, I never had an orchid in the ground, only from the flower shop, so I don't many things about this plant. I read in the book that the orchid family is the largest from angiosperms, thus flowering plants.

Nu se stie clar cate specii de orhidee sunt in toata lumea, dar se presupune ca sunt 25.000, dar la fel de bine pot fi si 30.000 specii. O treime de hibrizi au aparut din secolul 19 pana acum, marind numarul orhideelor existente pe planeta.

We don't know how many species are in the world, but it presumes that there are around 25.000, but could also be 30.000 species. 10.000 hibrids appeared from 19th century.

Fun facts: orhideele sunt de 4 ori mai multe decat mamiferele si de doua ori mai multe decat pasarile.

Fun facts: the orchids are four times more than mammals and two times more than birds.

Inclusiv Darwin a studiat orhideele si modul lor de polenizare si a scris o carte despre acest lucru. Unele dintre orhidee se bazeaza in totalitate pe auto-polenizare, in special in zonele reci, unde nu exista insecte.

Darwin studied the orchids and the pollination method and wrote a book. Some of the orchids are based on self-pollination, especially in cold areas, where are no insects.

Fun facts: vanilia este un tip de orhidee.

Fun facts: vanilla is an orchid. Nor a sky. :)

Exista o varietate larga de culori ale florilor si de tipuri. Flori duble sau simple, bazale sau axiale (pornesc din frunze), au multiple petale sau au sepale care se confunda cu petalele.

Orchids have a large variety of colours and types of flowers. Double or simple flowers, basal or axial (the flower starts from the leaves), with multiple petals or with sepals resembling with the petals (so called tepals).

Fun facts: frunzele uscate ale unei specii de orhidee se folosesc pentru a colora romul din Reunion.

Fun facts: the dried leaves of an orchid species are used to colour the rum in Reunion.
