Orchids Grow Wild Where CAIOS Reigns

Ask the Expert

From Wikipedia:

    “Orchids get their name from the Greek orchis, meaning 'testicle',
    from the appearance of subterranean tuberoids in some terrestrial
    species. The word 'orchis' was first used by Theophrastos (372/371 -
    287/286 BC), in his book "De historia plantarum" (The natural history
    of plants). He was a student of Aristotle and is considered the father
    of botany and ecology.”
