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 Salaya Minist
"I am moved by fancies
that are curled
Around these images and cling;
The notion of some infinitely gentle
Infinitely suffering thing."
T.S. Eliot
