Orchids were a type of colorful^[3] flower. The rain forest of Yavin 4 notably hosted a species of bioluminescent orchids.^[1] Orchids also grew in the jungles of the Outer Rim planet Akiva. The flowers could be kept in pots as decoration.^[2]

Queen Breha Organa of Alderaan planted Malastarian orchids and eventually her daughter Prince Leia Organa learned how to care for orchids so that they sent forth pale pink blooms.^[4]
