Not at this time, Other than surfing through the GCD and continuing to look for theories. Oh! I meant for someone else to look into this besides Quinn. He is too, but the more hands the better.

I am trying to place the meaning of the Black Orchid...
So far, only one thing has come to memory...

In the the movie, The Werewolf of London from 1935 there was a plant...

An English botanist searches for a plant called Marifasa lupina, or moon poppy. Can someone look into this please?

"Marifasa Lupina" was considered a temporary antidote for lycanthropy.

Do you think that Black Orchid has a connection to werewolves?

Black flowers are, for many, the unicorns of the orchid world... mythical beasts with an entire cadre of stories, hopes, and dreams built around the possibility of their existence.

Can an Orchid Conjure Evil?

For centuries, flower enthusiasts, poets, and the merely maudelin have all sought a truly black flower -- the kind you'd expect to find growing in a cemetery. When the orchid craze struck Europe during the 19th century, there was a great deal of speculation about the potential discovery of a black orchid, yet it proved as elusive as the black tulips people had been trying to breed for many years.

Alas, no truly black flower of any kind has ever been described.

But despair not (even that is your natural inclination). Thankfully for all the Depeche Mode loving Goths, Edgar Allen Poe fans, and turtlenecked, beret-wearing Bitnicks in the gardening crowd, there are some orchids that are so dark, they are worthy of being described as "black." In fact, most of them are alluring enough that you may want to get a couple, even if you've never secretly wanted to be a vampire or particularly thought of yourself as a fan of the macabre.

The Original "Black Orchid"

Coelogyne pandurata.

I've found that it apparently turns a human to and from being a werewolf.

Well, I also found the ORIGINAL Black Orchid...If you can, look into it and the Macabre, and Vampirism, and see if you can find any connections.

I don't know if Gaia's one does, but in general, yes.

Hey, Kiba, weren't you the one that posted some theories about the Black Orchid in our CB thread?

In it it says that the black orchid was often associated with the aconyte(sp?), and "the aconyte works to keep Dracula off households".

It could be just another defense against vampires, and have nothing to do with werewolves.

I may have, there are a lot of plants used in the defense of vampirism, and I mean a lot...Narrowing down a connection will be difficult until we know what it is we are looking for. Since they named the item the Black Orchid, use the scientific name of the flower I posted above and search it along with vampires and see what happens.
