Roarin' Orchids







I love them orchids - those charismatic charmers. And, like mushrooms, they feel more animal than vegetable. Vanilla comes from orchids - and there are four times more orchid species than mammals. One branch of metaphysical belief has it that they are actually aliens living amongst us. I took these photos at the SF Conservatory of Flowers - more fantasizing about the tropics on a grey, foggy wind blasting June day in San Francisco.
