Orchids are one of the largest families of flowering plants, with an estimated 27,000 species worldwide. Around 70 per cent of orchids are epiphytic, meaning they derive their moisture and nutrients from the air and usually grow high in the canopy of tropical forests. But temperate species, such as those in Britain, are terrestrial in their growth habits, meaning they grow in the ground.

The English obsession with grass came into being in the 17th century, when the close cut lawn was a status symbol of the rich. Only they could afford to take land out of production for purely aesthetic purposes, and maintaining a lawn before the invention of the mower was a highly skilled and labour-intensive process. The middle classes started growing lawns from the 1860s onwards, and the Victorian popularity for outdoor sports led to their proliferation. Grass species from the Old World were taken to America during this period, and the lawn took there over in the early 20th century. In 2005, NASA published research suggesting that lawns (including residential and commercial lawns and golf courses) were the single largest irrigated ‘crop’ in America, covering about 128,000 square kilometres. In 2013 there were upwards of 15 millions lawns in Britain, costing us £54 million in fertilisers and £127 million on lawn mowers.
