My Moth Orchids

More flowers. One of my other moth orchids started blooming-- on the day I got back from camping. So of course I had to take a comparison shot. The first to bloom is on the left-- the flowers are much bigger and nearly a solid fuchsia (with tiny little specks of darker colors). The second orchid to bloom (on the right) has smaller flowers and they are white with a blush of fuchsia veins and an interior that is fuchsia/violet. While I wait to finish a roll of 35mm film that will give a truer depiction of the colors, I'll share the Polaroid I have.



This photo was taken in my backyard using my SX70 Alpha camera and The Impossible Project's PX680 First Flush film.

  2. To be totally truthful, I only let them outside from time to time. They spend most of their time indoors, but I think they like direct sun on occasion.
