Question Are orchids C3, C4, or CAM plants?

Which of these carbon fixation mechanisms do orchids use? I wouldn't be surprised if the orchid family had representatives of all three, given the sheer diversity of its members.

I ask the question because I'm reviewing for a final exam, and the subject came up. My plants are sitting in the balcony, and I just thought about them.
