Orchidaceae is one of the most important plant families in the ornamental horticulture industry. The beauty and variety of the shapes and colors of the flowers make them very appealing to growers and collectors alike. Increasing orchid popularity has led to unsustainable harvesting (often illegally), and this, along with habitat destruction, has been identified as major threat to their survival [1]. Florida is home to 106 native orchid species, of which 77 are listed as endan- gered or threatened [2]. Conservation efforts are challenging as orchids have complex reproductive strategiestheir small seeds contain an undifferentiated embryo that lack an endosperm and have insignificant reserve material, as a re- sult their natural germination process depends exclusively on associations with mycorrhizal fungi [3].
