The orchid features regularly in Greek mythology. Firstly as a man named ‘Orchis’ who was said to have been born of a nymph and a satyr (half man half goat). It is reported that he disgraced himself by attempting to sexually assault a priestess, his punishment for this was to be ripped apart by wild animals, after which his form was shifted into the iconic plant known today as the Orchid.
