Phalaenopsis #2

Moth orchids make fascinating subjects. I like the way they respond to strong back lighting.

Every time I stop by the floral department I end up with another orchid. I'm up to five different varieties. I probably spend an hour there, looking at each plant from every angle and thinking about how I would photograph it. The staff must think I'm insane. I'm afraid they're not wrong.
