It's a bit testicular (m)
in reply to a message by Ailis
For that reason, I'd avoid it. I don't like the sound either but the flowers sure are lovely."The name "orchid" derives from orchis, the Greek for “testicle”. The Latin form orchis was taken by botanists of the 16th and 17th centuries as the basis for the plant’s scientific name. Their tubers (roots) resemble human testicles."
