One of the earliest and most enduring symbolic associations with orchids is fertility. This connection dates back to ancient civilizations, where orchids were often linked to reproduction, family growth, and vitality. In Greek culture, orchids were associated with virility and fertility, and their tuberous roots were sometimes used in fertility rituals. The flower’s graceful, complex structure also symbolizes the beauty and intricacy of life itself, further reinforcing its link to creation and renewal.
