I agree, Iris.

Every plant does indeed have its own story!

Rinkytink is just being his same old obnoxious troll self again. He's very

Enough, already! I got the story, in painful detail on the orchid group.
The
genus (monotypic) is indeed well-named. The flowers have several built-in
insect barriers and are apparently self-pollinated. End of story.
A lot of plants have funny names, beginning with the obsolete orchid genus
Aa.
There is a story to go with each one of them.
