Paintings of New Zealand Orchids

New Zealand Orchids

I painted these three works of New Zealand orchids under the bush canopy.
Two of them are perching orchids and one is a spider orchid which
grows on the ground.  Perching orchids are quite easy to see in the
bush growing in the clefts of established trees.  They are also quite
plentiful and easy to find, they are a lovely sight when they are in bloom.
The spider and hood orchids are rarer but I have seen them and
some grassland orchids too.

These photos I are made up of ladies slipper orchids


and ladies tresses orchids
