It’s the time of year for Orchids

The orchids in the house are house plants. I doubt they’d survive in nature. However in some way, orchids are orchids.

When the orchids are oout in the house, the ones that grow wild in the bush, Pink Lady Slippers are also in bloom. You just have to find them. My set up, K-1 and DFA 100 macro on tripod with 2 second delay.

Nice shots! I have several orchids. The oldest one is about five years old and blooms every year.

It’ much easier to arrange the plants for available light, if they are in pots.
