Orchid flowers have very diverse types and have their own uniqueness. One type of orchid that is quite rare is the black orchid.

Orchids include plants that are difficult to breed because the seeds do not have an endosperm so they are difficult to grow in nature.
Constraints faced in conventional propagation of black orchids are the flowering period is very fast and the flowers are relatively difficult to cross.
