Absolutely scrotal. I've seen a few that look a lot like that.

Well, duh!
The origin of the word "orchid" is Greek for testicle.

Yes, it is. It is that way because some orchids have a "double tuber" system to grow (image pulled from the internet):
![](https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Ll_Price/publication/40729156/figure/fig3/AS:279099122700298@1443553824454/Edible-orchid-tuber-Non-consumable-old-depleted-tuber-depicted-on-left-with-newly-formed.png)
and it's pretty obvious why they got that name once you look at those two tubers.
