Back to some pictures from the “orchids: A MOMENT” exhibit at the Smithsonian’s Hirshhorn Museum. I haven’t been there for a while, so I’m sure I have missed some marvelous orchids, but having visited it seven times, I imagine I’ve done enough ;-). Sadly, or maybe luckily so I don’t go take even more pictures of orchids, the exhibit is about ready to close.

I had photographed one of these unusual orchids on my first visit to the exhibit, but this picture gives a better idea of what the entire flower looks like.
