Among all the most royalty has been the “Dendrobium” of which there is a total 106 sub species and are found everywhere in Myanmar. Apart from the Dendrobium species there are many other species such as “Eria” with 41 sub species, “Bulbophyllum” with 39 sub species, “Habenaria” species with total 37 sub species, Coelogyne species with total sub species of 27 and finally the most royalty species of Vanda having total sub species of 11 in Myanmar. Among the 11 sub species of Vanda the “Vanda Coreulea” (some all it Blue Moon) has been most famous among the orchid lovers around the world.
