An '''orchid''' is any of the [[flowering plant]]s of the [[baraminology|family]] Orchidaceae. The [[flower]] of an orchid is bilaterally rather than radially [[symmetry|symmetrical]], with one petal formed as a lip-like structure. While most of the better known orchids are [[tropics|tropical]] and epiphytic, some, such as the bletilla, grow in the [[soil]] in [[temperate]] areas. Orchids are grown as house plants and as a source of cut flowers; also the vanilla orchid is the source of the flavoring [[vanilla]].
