In Greek mythology, the Orchid was a outcome after Orchis. Let's just say he was maybe not the best in his time. Son of a nymph and satyr. He got a little out of control at a feast, attacking a princess. His punishment, well, he didn't survive the attack of the beasts. Metamorphosed into a slender and modest plant we know as the Orchid. A flower of beauty, elegance and luxury are some of the associations of this modern day wonder. Back in Ancient Greek times though a women could eat the orchid roots to determine the sex of her unborn child. Karma certainly has a different way of working sometimes!
