The black orchid is a legendary symbol of virility derived from the Greek word "orchis". It has been an inspiration for superheroes and comic book characters for generations. Orchids abound across all the Hawaiian Islands. This wee, single stem orchid derives its beauty from its simplicity and pops against a matte black background. This gourd was pyro-etched and both painted and dyed before being sealed inside and out. Dimensions: 6 x 7" weight 8 oz.
