most niches and are the most studied group of plants. Phalaenopsis Orchids,
or Moth Orchids, are known for their rich green leaves and elegant flowering

About Me:
Hello, My Name is Daniel Beams. I am a biomedical major at the
University of Wisconsin La Crosse. I enjoy spending my time in the summer on
the lake. Whether it is wakeboarding, waterskiing, swimming or sailing on
Lake Michigan I love to be on the water. Over the past few summers I have
also worked in the landscaping business. By doing that I have been exposed
to many different plant species. I chose to make a web page about this
organism because my father raises orchids.
