Now you all know that I shoot a lot of Orchids. I want you to look at this image that I am presenting here (please ignore the overexposure if that is possible) I only shot this once! :( This image is in one of the greenhouses that I visited once, and when I saw this site it took my breath away, knowing what it is that I know about orchids. You see these flowers are simply amazing and very complex at the same time. If you were to break one of the roots on a plant, it would die. What you see in this image are Orchid roots. These roots have been growing for many, many years (some of them are eight feet in length and maybe even longer!!! I was afraid to venture any further into this house!). In order to get these roots potted into a basket, you would have to soak them in water to soften them and then very carefully shape them into the basket. Looks like a lot of work to be done here if someone ever decided to work this house!!! One day I will go back and visit this house again, and shoot some more images here, but for right now I just wanted to share this image. Brenda :)
