PHALENO = PHALAENOPSIS
The name Phalaenopsis is derived from the Greek words phalaen (butterfly) and opsis (similar to).
Indicates the resemblance of the flower to the shape of the butterflies.
In ancient China orchids were associated with spring festivals and were used to ward off the nefarious influences.
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.
