Orchids A - Z
Testicle Plant?
Who would suspect at the sight of an orchid that the name translated means testicle plant? It comes from the Greek word "orchis", which means testicles.
This quirky name arises from the testicle-shaped root of the marsh orchids, which represent only one of many genera of the Orchidaceae, but are eponymous for the entire plant family.
Huge variety
There is a variety like no other houseplant. Iridescent colors and wild patterns, beguiling fragrances and ornately shaped flowers, which can only be a few millimeters or almost twenty centimeters in size, make orchids one of the most popular houseplants.
As a result, gardeners have been breeding new varieties since the end of the 19th century (more than 50 new varieties have been created at that time), making the Orchidaceae the largest plant family, with more than 30,000 species.
