Wild Orchids in early June 2021

 "Come over and photograph wild orchids" said Elizabeth. So one afternoon in early June Angie and I drove over to Elizabeth's.   We were amazed at the number of wild orchids she has growing in her garden.  She said that when she and her husband moved to the property some 25 years ago they saw a few growing in the lawn so avoided them when they cut the grass.  Over the years the orchids have seeded and grown to a very large area.   A wonderful sight.

In the following two photo's Elizabeth placed a white and then a black sheet of card behind the orchids.  I think I prefer the white background best.

Just look at the beautiful markings on the flowers.
