Describe the difference between adaptation and evolution.
Adaptation: Change during a life time that is already in gene sequence but can be passed to subsequent generations.
Evolution: random change during cellular replication that caused a new or altered trait/function and is passed on to subsequent generations.
Ecuador's Cloud forest house the most species of this parasitic, epiphytic angiosperm that many home plant keepers kill quite quickly.
Orchids
