My good ol' film camera did a great job of capturing the true colors of these amazing flowers. Besides a little cropping I kept the original photos...no fancy Photoshop coloring or black and white conversions. I love post-processing and coloring techniques, but my creative subconscious kept saying, "Let the subjects speak - leave it alone!" So I did...and I'm very glad.
While flipping through the photos I could literally smell fresh flowers. Crazy how photographs can play tricks on your senses. Here's to a bright week ahead and to remember to smell the flowers along the way.

You should look at this http://men.style.com/video/obsessives/obsessives/3000755001/obsessives-rogan-gregory-/3168434001 it is pretty funny. It is kind of part of my job to look at things like this all day, so I thought of this from a while back when I saw this post :)
My father grew orchids all during my early childhood. He built his own greenhouse, and I think he had 200 orchids, all different types. They were lovely, but I hated going to greenhouses on vacations at age eight!
I am crazy for orchids!
This is soooo beautiful! I love the orchids, so so pretty! You have a very lovely blog :)

GAAAAAAAAAHHH!!! these are so gorgeous. it is funny that you posted this. i am working on a painting with orchids in it, and it is HARD to paint orchids. but i am going to make it happen. and hopefully it turns out like i am wanting it to!
The photos are beautiful! I love orchids, but I have an unfortunate track record of killing them almost instantly, despite owning numerous books on orchid care. I've finally given up.
these are beautiful!!
thanks for the lovely comment :)
wow your photos are amazing! They don't need photoshop anywhere near them
: )
I bought an orchid around this time last year...at a similar looking place to Seagrove (but in NJ) and was DETERMINED to take good care of it to get it to bloom again. I'm happy to say... a year later, and many loving fertilizing sessions later...There's new blooms on that there orchid of mine. Yay! Hopefully they open...
These lovely photos leave me wanting more (photos, and orchids. :-)
