My wife likes orchids very much and cultivates a lot of them. I often take their portraits in my macro-studio.
An outdoor orchid flowered during its winter in the cellar. Not a rarity, of course, but still much less common than the Phalaenopsis of the local supermarket...
Enjoy the details by looking at the portrait of this beautiful plant in large format. You'll perhaps understand why a number of rather salacious (and wealthy) old gentlemen took up orchidophilia in the Victorian era.
By the way of way, one of the finest collections in France can be found in the Senate, in the Luxembourg Gardens...
Lighting with a Godox AD100 Pro and a Godox MF12. Twelve pictures stacked with Helicon Focus.
