Every Orchid Deserves It's Time In The Spotlight ..

And there are no exceptions with this one. She is working so hard, all day, hanging out on her ledge and soaking up some filtered non-direct sunlight. What a tough life, so why not honor her by giving her the spotlight today?

Molly is giving her stamp of approval yet again She is stretching up to get a good look at today's Orchid, and those wonderful blooms. hehe. Okay, maybe I had to crop her in and edit it to appear this way. Pepper would have done this type of thing in a heartbeat, but NO WAY NO HOW is Molly getting this close to a plant.

I Was Shooting A Few Picks For The Shadow Hunters Community ..

I had the Orchid setting up near my record player in a room we rarely use. The sun was shinning in very brightly, which made for a good opportunity to see shadows. Just like the one sitting above Frank Sinatra's Album...

I was able to get a few good shots and even had the time to manipulate the heck out of them, before posting to Shadow Hunters.

That's when I caught a glimpse .. Of a chair I use for photographing things for selling them online. I have a chair draped in a white sheet that works just well enough for the chore. So I decided to use it to help capture a few decent shots of this Orchid. I don't know, but the whites seem to help make the pinks of this flower POP!

I got a few nice closeup's too

Before Ending the Photo Session ..

I decided that I needed to show this Orchid what it's missing on the outside, and at the same time, put her right into the brightest spotlight of all .. the sun.

I don't know for sure, but I thought for a moment she was smiling at her time as being the center of attention.. Although I may be a bit crazy too! Hehehe.

“No risk is more terrifying than that taken by the first root. A lucky root will eventually find water, but its first job is to anchor -- to anchor an embryo and forever end its mobile phase, however passive that mobility was. Once the first root is extended, the plant will never again enjoy any hope (however feeble) of relocating to a place less cold, less dry, less dangerous. Indeed, it will face frost, drought, and greedy jaws without any possibility of flight. The tiny rootlet has only once chance to guess what the future years, decades -- even centuries -- will bring to the patch of soil where it sits. It assesses the light and humidity of the moment, refers to its programming, and quite literally takes the plunge.”
