Taiwan:
Just a Holland is known for tulips, now Taiwan is known for its Phalaenopsis orchids.
With a climate that ranges from subtropical to tropical, the island of Taiwan is an ideal habitat for orchids. Since 1980, it has used this advantage to become the world's leading cultivator and exporter of orchids -- specifically, the popular Phaaenopsis orchids (or "moth orchid"). And Taiwanese growers are constantly using new techniques to develop amazing new varieties.
If you have purchased a Phalaenopsis orchid recently, it probably came from Taiwan. |
