The Palph. come also from a Grec word.
Just look at the flower and you can figure out the rest.

In those day, the male power was important and they related symbol to it

Serge Vive l'orchidée

Is this another name for some other type of orchid, or does it just mean Orchid in another language, or what?

I can't find any reference to it on this forum and I'm a bit confused.
It just means orchid in German or Dutch language.

Yes I think I agree as well. As a newbie at least I know that I will have to work out what it is so that I can then look after it correctly... rather than thinking it's something it isn't and so careing for it wrongly.

I knew it was only a matter of time before the other thread was to be called back into memory...there's a reason some orchids disturb me...

why should I be envious, have you see how odd these things look? Whatever Freud the NOID...and now I have a name should I ever find one I like...
