More pictures than you can shake a stick at
... Ok, that's not entirely true as I don't know how long you can actually shake your stick, but, er ... um, anyhow, here two sites that have just amazing photographs of some of the most stunning Orchids and I thought to share.
If I recall correctly the pictures taken by Pedro (first link) were from Andy's Orchids in Encinitas California.
And it's the better of the two sites in my opinion.
Orchid Photography
Orchid Species Pictures - Studio images stock photos, fine art prints by QTL
Hope you enjoy them.

Nice sites!! Here's another one that I came across - is this is future of photography?? Note, you have to have Quicktime to view the 'photos'... but being able to get a 360-view of plants is awesome!

One of the largest resources of photos of orchids is Flickr... there are several groups solely of photos of particular types of orchids. If you haven't already seen them, check them out:
Flickr: MASDEVALLIA & related orchids - over 1,000 photos
Flickr: Phalaenopsis Orchids - over 1,000 photos, though it seems some people have posted other types of orchids as well.
The companion group for Eric Hunt's Orchid Species Site.
Flickr: Orchid Species Photographs
And just 'orchids'
Flickr: The Orchids Pool - over 23,000 photos for your browsing pleasure! Though again, the photo pool needs to have some non-orchid photos cleaned out. |
