It may mean the shape of the horn when in velvet which bears a fleeting resemblance to a rein orchid flower. Enjoy the sun Paul From: nancy dowd <nancypdowd@gmail.com> To: naturens <naturens@chebucto.ns.ca> Sent: Sunday, July 14, 2013 7:10:03 AM Subject: [NatureNS] rein orchid name I will be answering my own question but, according to an Amazon blurb on an flower guide, Rein Orchids are so called because: "of the resemblance of some of the flowers to the reins used on horses" How true this is I do not know, never having seen one.
