I have a neighbor here in Wisconsin who let me photograph her a beautiful white phalaenopsis orchid. I've spent lots of time around these flowers as my father was an orchid grower and breeder. The come in various sizes, but few larger than 3-4 inches in diameter. They come in various colors, like this simple white with lavender spots to extravagantly colorful combinations.

Orchids are one of the largest flower families. There are estimated to be somewhere around 25,000 types of orchids! That is twice the number of bird species, and four times the number of mammalian species! They also compose some 11% of all seed plants. Most originated in the tropics, and are grown in commercial greenhouses.

I took this photograph with a macro lens in a studio setup I build in my living room.
