Parts of an Orchid


Parts of an Orchid 
Orchids have 6 main parts.
  • Three sepals
  • Two petals
  • One labellum (meaning tongue)

An additional section of an orchid is the column . Pollen is located at this point . The ovary behind the blossom can swell up after pollination , along with the seed builds upinside it . 


Orchids possess a component known as a bract , that is a leaf . In classification of certain orchids , the variety of bracts may help in orchid identity .
