THE CATCH OF Orchid

THE real orchids, each photographed exactly as it grows — from the gold-and-wine speckled tiger orchid to the ivory-and-magenta moth orchid to Paphiopedilum godefroyae's cream-to-burgundy fade. For thousands of years the orchid has stood for luxury, devotion, and quiet strength, from ancient Greece to Victorian "Orchidelirium." Every print in this collection starts as a real, photographed orchid, not an illustration.
