'Praying' orchids

I hate to admit it, but I went back to the Hirshhorn’s “orchids: A MOMENT” exhibit for one last look since it ends next weekend. Actually, I had to exchange a T-shirt from the Kusama “Infinity Mirrors” show and brought along a camera in case there were any interesting new orchids to see. There were, so I guess this gallery will go on for a while longer, but I’ll try not to overdo it ;-).

Not impressed, posted earlier:

So beautiful - and just as extraordinary as a lot of the others - a super shot V

I like the repetition of the orchid in the back and true that they look like "singing monks". Real pretty, Helen !

A very special form that I have never seen. Looks great against that light background
