Oh, they are so beautiful! And a whole new world to discover . . . I had some windowsill paphs and phals for years, but I've never looked for orchids in the wild. Lovely!
One of my favorite flowers, have bought many potted varieties and none have ever lived. Tried everything. I guess I will stick to taking their pictures. Have wonderful orchid farms not too far from me in the Ventura/ Santa Barbara area.
I got to see some native orchids when staying at Wallowa State Park in NE Oregon. We don't have them (that I know) around here. I did take some photos, but don't think I ever processed any. I will have to take a look.
