Nomenclature
 

Is there a web site that can depict the names of each part of an orchid?
Preferably by drawings or photos. I get confused in what is a spike, a
sheath, a cane and etc.

Haven't found drawings or diagrams, which many basic orchid books contain,
but found a good glossary on the following site of a San Francisco orchid

I have a diagram of different types of inflorescences...
