January - Orchid

Here is Orchid (January). I worked with orchids extensively in the greenhouse back in college. I was an orchid specialist. That basically means that I was very good at fertilizing orchids. Unlike cacti, orchids didn't use fish-smelling fertilizers. Thankfully.

I never thought of orchids as winter plants, seeing as that they are tropical. But the petals of white orchids exhibit a certian powdery snow quality. And just like winter, orchids always made me depressed.

Here are the WIPs.












And the finished product.
