Hi everyone, It's been awhile since I've sent out an update about my site, www.orchidphotos.org.
First off, after a year of work, I finished the species library! Each genus now has its own page, making it easier to find things and making it easier to browse the images. You should notice a definite speed improvement over my previous organizational structure. http://www.orchidphotos.org/images/orchids/index.html Secondly, I've been busy taking photos, and have started shooting hybrids! (I've reached a plateau of sorts in terms of new species I can photograph here in the Bay Area) First is a visit to Tom Perlite and Golden Gate Orchids: http://www.orchidphotos.org/images/orchids/ggate011406/index.html There were quite a few nice Odontoglossum-type hybrids in bloom plus a smattering of other things. The Peninsula Orchid Society just had their annual Show and Sale: http://www.orchidphotos.org/images/orchids/PeninsulaShow06/index.html Lots and lots of Cymbidiums, some Mormodes, Paphiopedilums, and some lesser-seen species. Finally, I visited some growers in Pacifica, CA in October 2005. The growers there include Hawk Hil, Joe Parker, and Hanging Gardens: http://www.orchidphotos.org/images/orchids/PacificaOct05/index.html Lots of Odonts, Draculas, Pleurothallids, Restrepia, Sigmatostalix, etc. Enjoy! -Eric in SF www.orchidphotos.org -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
