Cross-pollination is as important for humans as it is for plants. Charles Darwin published the first major work on the cross-pollination of orchids in 1862 and his lifelong work in the field showed the intricacy of the systems and intelligence involved. Today, 25,000 orchid species are known to exist.
No other plant family offers such a wide variety
of shapes, colours and scents.
