This iconography collects 36 genera and 82 species of wild orchids plants in Yachang of Guangxi, China.
The Yachang Orchid Nature Reserve in north-western Guangxi Province is unique in China as the first reserve established specifically for orchids. Its establishment in 2004 was a land-mark event in the country, protecting a rich diversity of unusual and threatened species, including some of the county’s rich diversity of slipper orchids, amongst the most spectacular and rarest orchids in the world. What makes Yachang an ideal reserve is the combination of its rare and beautiful plants and flowers growing in a setting that is itself spectacular.
