Description Another one of the amazing orchids at the Huntington Art Museum Conservatory. I'll be getting a camera with greater zoom ability this Christmas, so I'm looking forward to doing insane closeups of flower bits!

Thanks! I love the sparkly/fuzzy surface texture on it. I need to start taking photos of my own orchids. And hey, if you want to use the photo as a reference, you're more than welcome to!

orchids are so pretty- there are so many different kinds- though their roots are scary- they look like worms! haha

Heh, yeah, I don't think I'll be photographing their roots anytime soon.
