Orchid Moods

I grow orchids in a small addition to our house, suitably called the "Orchid Room." When the blooms are at their peak, I can spend hours taking pictures of them. Sometimes I think I like my pictures as much as the orchids themselves. Some have a dramatic, moody quality, others a light transcendence. I search through my poetry books, looking for lines that express what I feel. Whether I find the right ones or not, all the orchids are in themselves, stunning and lovely.

Dendrobium unknown hybrid

This Dendrobium came with the name "Rosy Pink." When it bloomed, I saw the most gorgeous purple of all my plants. I can never get the actual shade with my camera, no matter how many times I try. But this one comes close. The one below,

taken in my living room, is the truest.
