🌷Horticulture

Those who cultivate orchids often do it for the pure enjoyment of the flowers. Orchids of all types have always been sought by collectors.
Hundreds of societies and clubs have been established worldwide to encourage the cultivation and collection of orchids, but some go further and concentrate on conservation or research.
😳Perfumery

Thanks to their beautiful smell, the scent of orchids is frequently studied by perfumers using headspace technology and gas chromatography.
🙌Food

The dried seed pods of the orchid commonly known as Vanilla, are commercially important as a flavouring in baking, for perfume manufacture and aromatherapy.
The underground tubers of terrestrial orchids are ground to a powder and used for cooking, such as in the hot beverage salep.
The dried leaves of Jumellea fragrans are used to flavour rum on Reunion Island.
