 Descending aliens is what they look like to me anyway. Up close, they almost look like a ZZ Top band member complete with sunglasses and long beard. Printed at 12" by 18", they really look like old men with sunglasses on.

This is another not too common orchid type. This particular plant is actually very rare because the "moustache" part of the flower is normally green.

Again, painted with a mini maglite for 30 seconds in a completely dark room.

Looks like a huge group of squids. How in the world do you manage to get hold of all these rare flowers? I am enjoying the heck out of your rare orchid series! I had no idea there were so many variations. Thank you for the glimpses.

Oh this one is really interesting! I prefer this to some of the more vibrant ones - great work with the light.

I never would have thought these to be an orchid. They are beautiful and I love your technique.
