This orchid was one of hundreds adorning a huge holiday tree in the

landscape arboretum. They were a welcome relief from the winter cold.

Thanks for taking your time to comment. Larry

Beautiful - especially when viewed large.  I see a potential 2nd shot but it might be hard to pull off. From the angle you have here, the orchid looks like a butterfly so I might have gone in real close to see if I could find something appealing and almost abstract. This afternoon I found a snowy subject - dried up flower with snow and I must shot at least 7 images but still not sure if I want to share the result.  One would always wish for an orange beam of light hitting the flower but it was snowing, dull and dank.

This one is lovely as well Larry! My son buys me an orchid usually a couple times a year. They are very hardy and bring a bit of beauty inside during the winter months.

Hi Gail,  Thanks for your visit.  Yes, orchids are quite beautiful and hearty as most of them are ectophites (sp?) that basically live as parasites off of other trees in the forest.  This must be why they are planted in bark rather than soil.  We have had a couple for years that just live on and on.  P.S. Barclay is doing well.  Stay warm.  Larry
