As in showy like an orchid. A very rare noun form of orchidaceous, but honestly I prefer this word.

Is it related to testicles? I may have to start using this term as a more refined version of "he always arrives balls first"

Only in the sense that orchid is derived from Ancient Greek orchis meaning testicle, from the shape of the root tubers of some species.

Probably.
