Welcome! I planned to begin this blog today, my first day back from a vacation in Key West, FL - a little relaxtion before I move full speed ahead toward the floral future. I even had some great vacation pictures to use for the inaugural post! We stumbled upon an Orchid Show in Key West and I took a million shots of the most surprisingly amazing orchids I've ever seen (I don't really like the traditional orchids we usually see). Alas, the following day I clumsily lost my camera over the side of a sailboat in the Gulf of Mexico and these images sleep with the fishes.
I don't dislike orchids. But my favorite flowers are the softer-looking varieties, and orchids generally have a more solid and structural look. At the orchid show, however, there were a lot of soft blooms. I found some examples on flickr to make up for my lack of original images...

I guess what it comes down to is, when it comes to orchids, I like it when they break free of the clean lines and curves and do a lil' ruffle!
