OMG are you kidding me??? Where do you live??? I deserve a farmers market like that! That would cost you $25 just for a seedling, five years from the plant you got. That's one of the best scores I've ever seen. Congrats! I'm very jealous.

Beautiful and a bargain to boot!

My husband wanted me to ask you 'what lighting do you use to photograph?' He looked at your photos and was so impressed. He has the same camera but not the same photos. He's trying to learn how to photograph orchids better.

Thanks,
Jane

Thanks for the compliments.
Jane I use photo lights with 250 watt blue photo bulbs with a photo umbrella.On this one I only used 1 light and 1 umbrella.It was placed about 2 feet above the plant,and about a foot in front.
Thanks.

Talk about bargains! Sure wish we had a place like that nearby.

Thanks for the information. I'll pass it along. He loves your photograph. I guess CFL's with an umbrella wouldn't work????

Great growing and photography,

Jane
