Here are two more photos of the clay orchid sculptures I have been producing. I have received many wonderful comments/compliments from this sites members. Thank you all.

Mixed Orchids (Cymbidium, Virgin, Curly Dendrobium)

Enjoy!

Beautiful Ron! One thing about the names, the Caularthron bicornutum is commonly referred to as the "Virgin Orchid" in its native Trinidad. I know there are sometimes many common names for the same orchid, but since Vanilla is a genus of its own, things could get confused. I just thought you might appreciate that little tid-bit.

Keep up the good work!

They are wonderful.

Thanks Royal for the clarification on Caularthron bicornutum. I was slightly confused as I did not think it looked like Vanilla flowers.
