My eyes are always drawn to lines, patterns and textures everywhere, and photographing flowers was no exception.
The orchids specially have so many patterns and textures.
They’re like fingerprints … no two seem to be exactly alike.
Maybe similar … but not the same.
There were even some that reminded me of those Rorschach blots and tests. Do they still use those tests?
Or one of those art projects where you splatter blobs of paint on the paper; then fold the paper in half to make mirror images.
Hmmm … this kind of looks like a face …
Some look like they were painted on the petals …
… and some look like sun rays ..
Designs within designs …
So much beauty in nature, isn’t there?
I call it the Iris Orchid, because the colours reminded me of the iris flower that I had taken a photo (at right) of some years back. I do see some similarities to the orchid. As usual, I didn’t look for the name plate that would identify this orchid. I’m getting bad at this, but then my focus wasn’t exactly on the scientific names of the orchids. I was just there to enjoy their beauty!
