The palm family has about 1200 species, some of which can be seen here. Most important commercial resources are the Coco, Date, Oil, and Sago palms. Large banana plants and their allied genera, Strelitzia (Giant Bird of Paradise), Heliconia, and Ginger plants bloom with most interesting flowers. Orchids grace the showcases all year around. Orchids are one of the largest plant families with about 20,000 species. Thirteen species occur in the Pacific Northwest. The fruit of Vanilla planifolia, a vine-like orchid plant, finds good use in the kitchen.
