Phalaenopsis orchids are often known as Moth Orchids. Phalaenopsis orchids were actually named after the Phalaena genera of moths, as they were thought to look like moths in flight.
So really the name phalaenopsis means the moth-like orchid. I’m not sure this really does the beauty of this amazing flower justice, but there you go.
