National Orchid Day
Each year, National Orchid Day honors one of the world's most diverse and widespread flowering plant families. The orchids' often vibrant and fragrant blooms are in bloom around the world. They are one of the two most popular flowering plants in the United States, with between 21,950 and 26,049 species listed. Not only are they prolific, but they also differ in size from the 2.1 mm wide Platystele jungermannioides to broad-bloomed Grammatophyllum speciosum..
While some find the orchid difficult to grow, others delight in their pleasant fragrance and rare beauty. Anybody can enjoy the beauty from home or visiting botanical gardens around the world, with so many varieties to choose from.

The national orchid day celebrations have existed for the first time in history.
Orchids are stunning and very rare. In 2010, Mike and Faith Young, the orchid breeders of National Orchid Day, volunteered at an orchid reserve in San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico. The experience changed their lives forever. So much so, the Youngs decided that if they were ever to have a daughter, they would name her Orchid. They lost their precious daughter during labour on April 16, 2014. They're sad to say that on April 16, 2014. They named her Orchid Faith. Since then, they have been desperately looking for ways to honor her mother's life.
National orchid day is being held in the United States, with national orchid day being established
The Youngs set out to secure the day in honor of their daughter, Orchid Faith, after finding that no National Orchid Day existed. t. They launched a Kickstarter campaign on the year's anniversary of losing their precious little girl.. Through the Official National Day Registrar, they sold pre-orders of their backyard honey (The Humble Bumbles Honey), with the intention to designate April 16th as National Orchid Day. They achieved their target within the first day, and the campaign raised over $1,500.' Thanks to the generosity and kindness of many people, relatives, and supporters, April 16th will now be National Orchid Day in honor of their daughter..
Mike and Faith will be caring for and spreading word about orchids for the remainder of their lives. People from all around will appreciate orchids a little more, and their little girl will feel the warmth of those that think of orchids that day. Both orchids seem to be a part of their little girl, and they believe that this special day will encourage those who come across orchids to consider their daughter, Orchid Faith, as well; she is alive inside you and all of us.

Mike branded and named a Cattleya orchid 'Radiant Faith' on the Royal Horticulture Society in England's official website, which acknowledges and respects the Radiant Faith orchid. The Youngs were inspired by Pantone's color of the year 2014 (the year they lost their daughter) – Radiant Orchid.
