About: Phalaenopsis Orchid, also known as the Moth Orchid. One of the most popular orchids. Phalaenopsis orchids got their name from the Latin words “phal,” meaning moth, and “opsis,” meaning appearance. Charles Ludwig de Blume (or Karl Ludwig von Blume), the German-Dutch botanist who named them, reportedly thought they looked like moths in flight.
That's why even today, you'll hear some people refer to Phalaenopsis orchids as "moth orchids."
