Paphilopedilum are among the most intricately-patterned of the thousands of species of orchids. I made the upper two images by shooting the flower against a gray evening sky (left) or a dark background (right), using a ringflash for even lighting on the complex flower. The one below was photographed at the San Diego Zoo. |
