The orchid family, which today has more than 20,000 botanical species, was also revered in Japan and China for its artistic and aesthetic values. Confucius associated its fragrance with that of friendship<\/strong> and its particular appearance with that of the accomplished man. More abstractly, he also represents a color, the grace and fragility of a thing or a person and, finally, rarity and refinement.
