Orchids are virtually un-matched either in range of expression or delicacy of nuance and the Orchid Conservatory has about a hundred or so photographs of them. (All photographs are original)
This is an Audience Participation site as you will see that visitors to the site have contributed information about the orchids to help identify them or share something interesting about them. You will always be credited by name or remain anonymous, as you wish, and you can reach me on Twitter or Facebook.
IMAGES shows a page of thumbnail images of the orchids. After clicking on any of the thumbnails, you will be presented with the full-size picture of the orchid along with information about it. Click directly on the orchid and it will be displayed by itself in a picture frame.
You are welcome to copy the orchid pictures if you like and you can do that by dragging them to your desktop. If you use them elsewhere, please provide attribution and a link back to the Orchid Conservatory.
Whether you're looking for Cattleya (corsage) orchids, Phalaenopsis orchids, or a different orchid from over a dozen genera, you will likely find at least one specimen here. Scanning the IMAGES is very fast but you can also search orchid GENERA by name. Popular orchid genera are represented such as Cattleya, Cypripedium, Dendrobium, Epidendrum, Phalaenopsis, Oncidium, and many others. One way or the other, you will likely be able to track down the one you're trying to find or one similar to it very quickly.
KROHN will take you the Krohn Conservatory in Cincinnati. Their Orchid House is where many of the photographs were taken.
The Krohn Conservatory site has now been upgraded to HD video to provide a tour of the different Floral Houses within the Conservatory.
The LINKS and SOURCES pages show orchid-related Web sites you may find interesting.
Explore the site and I hope you enjoy the time you spend here. The other Duck Soup photography galleries are accessible via the Features Page. Thanks for visiting.
