A Medley of Abstract Orchids.
This post contains a few of my favourite abstract orchid images created by applying digital manipulation to my original photos.

Orchid plants are members of the Orchidaceae family and are native to the Amazon jungles, thriving on the tropical warmth, dappled sunlight and occasional mist.

Most orchid species are adaptable, tough, drought tolerant, and able to survive extended periods with overnight temperatures of 4°C or lower. Even though it takes a lot to kill some species, orchids truly thrive when looked after properly.

They do prefer a sunny or partly shaded position and do particularly well when planted in orchid compost.

In winter, allow the soil to dry out before watering, but keep the plants moist when in active growth and feed regularly. Propagate by dividing the clumps down as far as single pseudobulbs.

When placed in shade houses orchids receive good strong filtered light and decent air flow. Most varieties look awesome when grown in hanging baskets or in slatted orchid baskets.

Good drainage is essential so a course pine bark will work well.During the winter months they need little watering and more light, in the warmer months, a 50% shade cloth is suitable as is more regular watering.
