Many orchid species in this site also can be found in other countries like Malaysia, Thailand, Papua New Guinea and the Philippines since the climatic conditions are similar to Indonesia. Most photos on this site are in my private collection and contributions from my orchid friends. Indonesia has three national flowers, Phalaenopsis amabilis (called Anggrek Bulan), Rafflesia arnoldi (Padma) and Jasminum sambac (Melati). Orchids are very popular plants in Indonesia and easy to find in every island, you do not have to go to the jungle to see them. That is one of the reasons why Indonesia chose Phalaenopsis amabilis as one of our national flowers.
