Most of the commonly cultivated orchids are epiphytes, meaning they grow on tree trunks rather than in soil, deriving all of their nutrients from the air. This epiphyte is seen in its natural environment, wrapped lasso-like around a thick branch. Aerides odorata occurs throughout tropical Asia in colors of every stripe, from the purest white to the deepest purple. | ||||||||||
