There are about 141 genera of orchids representing about 1,100 orchid species, 900 of which are described as endemic to the Philippines. Many of them have showy, brightly colored and attractive flowers.Valmayor, Helen L. (1984). Orchidiana Philippiniana. {{ISBN|9711005522}}.

Vanda sanderiana is unofficially dubbed the National Flower, as the only representative of the species is unique to the Philippines and is only found on the island of Mindanao.Cootes, Jim (2001).

The country represents the center of Phalaenopsis orchids with about twenty two speciesIkedo, Tsuneo Dr.{{cite web | title =Habitat Distribution and Ecology of Phalaenopsis Species | url=http://www.ranwild.org/Phalaenopsis/module/introduction/intro1/Eenvironhead.html | accessdate = 2013-04-03}} and several natural hybrids, more than any other country in the world.American Orchid Society.{{cite web | title =Phalaenopsis, The Genus Beginner's Handbook, XXIII | url=http://www.aos.org/Default.aspx?id=470&no=2&date=1956-11 | accessdate = 2013-04-03}} Some of the species endemic to the Philippines such as P. stuartiana, P. sanderiana and P. schilleriana, have had the greatest influence on hybridizing than any other Phalaenopsis species.
