Phragmipedium Cardinale

   Being one of my favorite flowers, about the only places you can see orchids are at botanical conservatories, orchid greenhouses or at orchid shows.  Since I can't take pictures of orchids in the studio, I often have to put in a new background because the background that is already there is often distracting and I really want the orchid to stand out.  This was taken at an orchid show at the local botanical conservatory.
