I first saw the Orchid as a Christ figure the way it was cut down and picked up. I also saw the brother as a Christ figure the way he died. The accident to the toothless guy made me think of a Christ reference also. I first thought the theme was "there are alot of things claiming to be Christ around here.
then i caught the Being John M. overtones: see Adaptation was "outside" that movie about being "inside". That's when I got it, the "inside" reference of course makes this movie above vaginas. the orchid was simply a parallel to the movie about what's "outside." Hope this helps!
