What have orchids, as a Family, contributed to modern day society?

They have certainly contributed to not only modern society, but also very ancient society.

Certainly the qualities of great beauty.

There were Chinese emperors at one time, a few thousand years ago, which prized there own native Mini Cymbidium Orchids of China for there wonderful perfume, which made the emperors lives more durable with all of the heavy silk clothing they had to wear.

They were commemorated in paintings, calligraphy and clothing by the Chinese emperors.

Orchids have contributed beauty and a certain quality of mystery to our lives ever since.

There are so many different ones that you can never become bored with them.

They have contributed a great deal to our modern life, for one thing the mila is called the vanilla bean which is actually the fruit of the vanilla orchid, and that is a source of our vanilla.

I do not think that orchids are very much grown for their edibility, they are grown for their beauty and their lovely different colors and utterly interesting aspects.

They are indeed living art objects.
