A COLLECTION OF LEAVES AND BLOOMS MACRO SHOTS
Jewel orchids are mostly grown for their foliage rather than for their blooms, due to their very sparkly, colorful and velvety leaves. Through this series of pictures, I have used macrophotography and focus stacking techniques to put emphasis on the structures that cannot be seen with the naked eye and which confer these unique textures to the foliage.
The often overlooked blooms are also photographed using the same technique, to reveal their discrete beauty and complex structures.
These plants are often endangered due to poaching and climate change so please make sure you buy them from ethical reliable sources only, which do not sell wild-collected plants. All of the orchids displayed here come from Roehampton Orchids in Canada: they hybridize, clone and grow these beautiful plants in collaboration with a laboratory to reduce the impact of poaching on these fragile orchids.
