orchids

Mizoram boasts 350 identified orchid species, with 80 having medicinal value. However, habitat destruction threatens the survival of rare orchids. The newly inaugurated Mizoram Orchid Centre aims to collect, preserve, multiply through tissue culture, and study orchid species, promoting their restoration and health through research and development. Orchid varieties play a significant role in ceremonies in Lawngtlai, including birthdays, weddings, and festive events.
