Title: Orchid Ascda. Thai Joy 'Mechai'
Medium: Digital Photography
Photographer: Aaron J. Greenblatt
Camera Type: Panasonic DMC-LZ7 Lumix 7.2 MP
Editing: Edited in PhotoShop 7.0 for color accuracy, size, and to apply copyright and border.
Location: Photograph taken at the University of Michigan-Dearborn (UMD) greenhouse which is attached to the Science Building on the UMD campus in Dearborn, Michigan.
Permission to take this picture was granted by Dr. Don Miller, faculty member in the Department of Natural Sciences at the University of Michigan-Dearborn.
Description: These pretty orchids were blooming in the greenhouse. They were rather fragrant and their striking coloration was the first thing I saw when I walked in. Dr. Don Miller likes to display many of his flowering plants near the greenhouse's main window and there was a nice selection of orchids in bloom and on display when I arrived.
About Orchids: Orchidaceae, also called the Orchid family, is the largest family of the flowering plants (Angiospermae). Its name is derived from the genus Orchis.
The Royal Botanical Gardens of Kew list 880 genera and nearly 22,000 accepted species, but the exact number is unknown (perhaps as many as 25,000) because of taxonomic disputes. The number of orchid species equals about four times the number of mammal species, or more than twice the number of bird species. It also encompasses about 6–11% of all seed plants. About 800 new orchid species are added each year.
About Ascda: Ascocenda, abbreviated as Ascda, is a man-made hybrid orchid genus resulting from a cross between Ascocentrum and Vanda (Asctm × V). It was first described in Orchid Rev. 57: 172 (1949). Ascocenda species are common in cultivation with numerous cultivars and often combine the large flower size of the Vanda parents with the color and compactness of the Ascocentrum parents. Most find their origin in Thailand, Myanmar, India and the Philippines.
They are evergreen compact epiphytes with an uprigh, narrow, oviform leaves. The inflorescence is an axillary cluster with 6 to 8 open flowers. They bloom twice or sometimes three times a year with long lasting flowers. The flowers are brightly colored, often overlaid with contrasting colors.
