I’ve just recently discovered the advantage of going to nurseries and florist warehouses to take shots of beautiful flowers. Its fun, its convenient (they are all in one place) and if you don’t get run off, you get some awesome images. Here are a few (alas, still taken with my iPhone) at a place that specialized in orchids and bromeliads.
I know this one looks over saturated, but honestly, this was its genuine color!
I love this pair – they remind me of tigers
What’s not to love, they are purple!
pretty in pink
This reminds me of a fairy

LOL, even if it was in the middle of Oklahoma City!
I used my iPhone with the Camera+ app. My prof camera is in the shop! 😦

Okay, this is so weird. We just went to the Santa Barbara Orchid Estates on Monday, and I almost bought the candy cane looking orchid! I opted instead for one that hangs on the wall that I can’t pronounce yet!

It must be the time of year for them to bloom; I’ve seen a lot of posts with them! You will have to post a photo of yours.

It was a challenge soaking the one I got on Monday. It is to be mounted on the wall, but plant is attached to cork. Try to submerge the roots when it wants to float. 🙂

I’m trying; I had to twist Clint’s arm to stop there and then we only stayed for about 10 minutes! You inspire me, so am trying (to gently) persuade him to get out and about more! 🙂
