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.

More plants

The following photos were all taken on my Polaroid SX70 Alpha using PX680 First Flush film. I have been having altogether too much fun with gardening lately, and it shows.

This one is of my pomegranate tree in bloom:

The next two are experiments. I used Holga close-up lenses help by hand to get right into my subjects. I was shooting on a really bright and hot day, and I think that added to the warm tones that showed up strongly in the following photographs---

Lavender. 

Orchid.

I have been having loads of fun playing with this film and this particular camera. I am also in a flora stage, apparently. I have taken a few landscape photos, but I keep coming back to the details of individual blooms, blossoms, and leaves a lot lately. And I'm alright with that.
