Fascinating.

It is generally assumed that orchids and their pollinators co-evolve and therefor orchids come to rely on a single pollinator, or a few related pollinators, to propagate in their native habitats. Does this mean that some species, at least, may be conserved by establishing them in parks in new habitats?

Also, are hybrids being propagated as well?
