Orchidaceae is a diverse and widespread family of flowering plants, with blooms that are often colourful and often fragrant, commonly known as the orchid family. Along with the Asteraceae, they are one of the two largest families of flowering plants. Orchidaceae has about 27,800 currently accepted species, distributed in about 880 genera. The determination of which family is larger is still under debate, because verified data on the members of such enormous families are continually in flux. Regardless, the number of orchid species nearly equals the number of bony fishes and is more than twice the number of bird species, and about four times the number of mammal species. The family also encompasses about 6–11% of all seed plants. The largest genera are Bulbophyllum (2,000 species), Epidendrum (1,500 species), Dendrobium (1,400 species) and Pleurothallis (1,000 species).
The family also includes Vanilla (the genus of the vanilla plant), Orchis (type genus), and many commonly cultivated plants such as Phalaenopsis and Cattleya. Moreover, since the introduction of tropical species into cultivation in the 19th century, horticulturists have produced more than 100,000 hybrids and cultivars.

What a wonderful time that was I was happy with you and a life that tossed in the wind Someday I'll toil to write it down
Yeah, one day I'll reveal it to you my love Repeat your name, I'll never stop You'll never know how much I care
What can I do when I'm beside you What can I say when I'm around you All of this for just one kiss, wouldn't change it for the world (Wouldn't change it for the world)
What can I do when I'm beside you What can I say when I'm around you Go it alone, find me at home You don't care You don't care
You've been very kind Do you mind if I sit and watch you Sigh and say I wouldn't change it for the world
A kind of eden in my mind A kind of fear that I will find When I hear you say you really care
But what can I do when I'm beside you What can I say when I'm around you All of this for just one kiss, wouldn't change it for the world (Wouldn't change it for the world)
What can I do when I'm beside you What can I say when I'm around you Go it alone, find me at home You don't care You don't care
