History & Origins (description)

The Phalaenopsis orchid is native to the tropical regions of Southeast Asia, Indonesia and the Philippines. Its name is derived from the Greek words for «whale» and «opsis», as its flowers resemble a butterfly in flight.

Orchids have been cultivated for centuries and were considered a symbol of luxury and exotic beauty. In Europe they became particularly popular in the 19th century, when their systematic collection and hybridisation began.

Today Phalaenopsis is the most popular indoor orchid worldwide, thanks to its elegance, hardiness and impressive, long-lasting flowering.
