Orchidaceae,
commonly referred to as the Orchid family, is a morphologically diverse and widespread family of monocots. It is currently believed to be the second largest family of flowering plants (only the Asteraceae is larger), with between 21,950 and 26,049 currently accepted species, found in 880 genera.
The name comes from the Greek "orkhis", literally meaning "testicle", because its root has a similar shape. The term was introduced in 1845 by John Lindley in "School Botany".

Fûkiran, fuukiran (富貴蘭)
is a Japanese orchid and is translated as
"Orchid of the rich and noble", as it was collected by daimyô and samurai. The common name is fûran (fuuran, wind orchid) and the genus/species is 'Neofinetia falcata'. All of these three names are used interchangeably.

These Japanese orchids are grown for the entire plant, not just the flower, with the foliage being the most admired part of the plant. The shapes, patterns, and coloration of the foliage are the most important attributes. The mind-set required to enjoy the delicate variations in shape or stripe of the leaves rather than esteeming the flowers may have something in common with the Japanese taste for the quiet and simple.

Vanda
is a genus in the orchid family (Orchidaceae) which, although not large (about fifty species), is one of the most important florally. This genus and it allies are considered to be the most highly evolved of all orchids within Orchidaceae. The genus is very highly prized in horticulture for its showy, fragrant, long lasting, and intensely colorful flowers.
The name "Vanda"
is derived from the Sanskrit name for the species Vanda tessellata.

quote
In the case of this particular Ophrys, that animal is a relative of the bumblebee. The orchid offers no nectar or pollen reward; rather, it seduces male bees with the promise of bee sex and then insures its pollination by frustrating precisely the desire it has excited.
The orchid accomplishes its sexual deception by mimicking the appearance, scent, and even the tactile experience of a female bee. The flower, in other words, traffics in something very much like metaphor: This stands for that. Not bad for a vegetable.
