The Orchidaceous or orchid family is a diverse and widespread family of flowering plants with colorful and fragrant blooms. It is one of the two largest families of flowering plants, with between 21,950 and 26,049 currently accepted species.

There are no known poisonous orchids, but there are so many thousands of varieties it becomes virtually impossible to test them all. One of the most popular flavorings however, vanilla, comes from the seed pod of an orchid. So it’s safe to assume that they are not poisonous,
