Beauty
In the East, Orchid is cosidered "progenitor of all fragrances" and it is compared to breath of a beautiful woman. The name Orchis is an idea of Teofrasto (greek), inspired to the roundish shape of the tubers. In the mythology, Orchis was a young greek, beautiful and very fiery. He was the son of a nymph and he thounk that he could have everything for his beauty. During a Bacco's feast he attempted to rape one of Bacco's priestess: for this reason, he was teared to pieces by wild animals. From his remnants a little plant was born: the orchid. In ancient China, during spring, orchid was considered symbol of perfection for its beauty. They are particular flowers for the strange figure, for the very gentle sweet smell and for the velvety petals. They are difficult to cultivate and rather rare. Orchids attract a lot of bugs. They are the symbol of refinement and luxury; they can be present to recognize sensuality and beauty.
