Orchids are a flower I really enjoy and recently one of my tropical ladyslippers began blooming again. This is a plant that has consistently bloomed every year for me and one I really enjoy. I’ve wanted to photograph them but my struggle has been how to create an image that is unique? Finally I came across the idea to light them in a unique way. From inside their pouch. With such small LED’s now this is possible in a way that hasn’t been before. My concern was the flower would get knocked off while inserting the lights. Fortunately that did not happen which surprised me a bit as I really had to twist and turn some of the parts of these flowers to get the lights where I wanted them. It took me a couple of hours one afternoon to get this all set up but I had fun and enjoy the results for the most part. There are hopes to be able to do more of this in the future with other flowers.
