“Don’t compare yourself to others; each orchid has its own time to bloom.”

Have a great Monday! 🌼

A variety of orchid growing in the Butterfly and Orchid Pavilion of the Tucson Botanical Gardens in Tucson, Arizona. I think (from serious Googling) that it is a Cattleya orchid--I could be wrong.

This must be a Gymnadenia conopsea, but I don't dare to suggest which variety.

Orchids are firstly very shy and then they open their flowers in some hours. I've taken about 40 photos to get some better ones, the daylight was weak and for the last photo at 5 p.m., I had to use flash.

Orchids from Huntington Library and Botanic Gardens. San Marino. California.

I photographed this orchid on Mother's Day in the San Diego Botanic Building in Balboa Park.

 

I wanted to emphasize the shapes and textures of the petals, so I used side lighting to create the shadows that reveal those qualities. Lit with a Yongnuo flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box hand held in front of the flower and below it at 4 o'clock. The flash was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

 

I've photographed a lot of plants and flowers, because they're all around us, work cheap, and never complain. I have an album of these images with over 800 pictures, and for each one, I have described how I lit them, in case you're interested in that kind of thing.

Have a wonderful day!(^!~)...:)

There's something about orchids that always brings a sense of peace and tranquility when I spend time just observing them. They remind me of gifts received and given. This one is a gift I gave my daughter last October.
