Another STUNNING IMAGE,Miguel...gorgeous colours...i just wonder,if All theses Orchids you show us here in your portfolio,are from that garden of yours...I THINK TO TAKE CARE OF ORCHIDS IS ART TOO :-)

Artist Reply: My dearest Nira, they are not all mine. I have collector friends and I go to exotic shows, and friends and the ones I do have are exquistely pampered. But I grow other exotics and big bushes and many types of roses. Thank you so much for your kindness, Your came into my life when I needed a friend such as you, postive, sensative, artistic. I am very much a loner, I spend most of my life with my children on occasion, my mother and sister. So I don't usually communicate so much. You make it easy and I always appreiciate seeing your name on my comments list and what you say to me is so profound that typically I am wiser by your words. The best for you always. miguel
