Answer #1
Ummmm......how do I say this tactfully?Basically.....sex organs. As in the sex
organs on the outside of people that we see, not the internal parts. Orchids
were considered too visually stimulating to be given to, or even seen by, women
in Elizabethan times.If you look at orchids (many, many varieties) I guess you
can see the similarities between an orchid and especially female anatomy.

Also, you should know that in medicine, the term "orchid" means testis. So an
orchidectomy is an operation that removes the testes. Orchitis is inflammation
of the testis. There's an anatomic reason for calling testes orchids
