In ancient China orchids were associated with spring festivals and were used to ward off the nefarious influences and in particular sterility.
The doctor Dioscorides advised to eat the tubers of the orchids as a remedy against sterility.
In the Middle Ages, the species were attributed to the species of orchids the same fertilised properties that the Ancients spoke of, and the roots were used to make filters and elixirs of love.
The Greeks called the orchid even kosmosandalon, sandalwood of the world, for the rigonfius label that finds itself in many spontaneous species in the Mediterranean area and resembles the tip of a scarlet.
But the beauty of the flower of the orchid has also evoked the symbol of Harmony, and even the emblem of Spiritual Perfection, because the carnal and earthly beauty, as Plato has taught, is not if not a materialization of that invisible to our mortal eyes.
