Ah, the things we learn in med school...
I've also learned that heliotropes are purple flowers
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliotropium
Which is the color of the rash associated with dermatomyositis (why don't they just call it purple?)
(Heliotrope Rash: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliotrope_rash)
And that orchids are called orchids because their roots look like testicles
"The name comes from the Greek "órkhis," literally meaning "testicle," because of the shape of the root." from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orchid
I buy that: http://www.philaprintshop.com/images/besorch.jpg
Which is why inflammation of the testicles is called orchitis
