Description

Do you see a beautifully dressed woman in full purple polka dot skirts bending down to tenderly pick up a child? Or is she picking up a yellow bird or butterfly? Or is it Salome with a head on a platter?
This is a Phalaenopsis, Phal, or moth orchid, which prefers indirect sunlight. Orchidaceae are extremely diverse: there are twice as many orchid species as bird species, and about four times as many as mammal species. The most highly coveted of ornamental plants, the delicate, exotic and graceful orchid represents love, luxury, beauty and strength. In ancient Greece, orchids were associated with virility.

This original flower photograph is honored by features in over two dozen Fine Art America groups:
