WILD  ORCHIDS WITH BLEEDING HEARTS

WILD ORCHIDS WITH BLEEDING HEARTS paintography and photograpy by MICHAEL FORBUS WILD ORCHIDS "The flower that walks", the Indian; said, And walking spreads its crown-like roots Through forest glades and upland dales. Moccasin flower or Lady's Slipper, It matters not the name Or if it be fair white or rose or tiny yellow kind Tis ever rare and wondrous there This woodland beauty Bequeathed us from another age. A Heritage to guard with care And cherish for posterity That other eyes in future years May see this Orchid walk the trails As did our native Indian braves And shy eyed maidens of the tribe. -HELEN M. FLEET

This is an excellent piece of work, Michael. I'm enjoying your work.

Artist Reply: Linda, which is Spanish means beautiful as in muy Linda, means "very beautiful". You are the embodiment of your name and your comments are just so kind and generous and I feel like taking you through a walk in the garden in my head. It is a wild rain-forest of blooms. And the flowers speak in poetic whispers and we walk through the silence with the cloud forest mist on our faces. My thanks for you comments and I love that you are enjoying yourself. My affection and gratitude to you, Michael

just saw your reply to my post from yesterday. My idea was a Triptych of these, Azul Orchid and The Purple Maui Vandas. All have black backgrounds and are so stunning so that t'was my little idea. Yer fan AO

Artist Reply: Great idea, would love to see them all box matted and framed in gold.....Great idea. Maybe I will print those and check them out together. I have a lot of new stuff to print. Thanks for the idea. I was teasing about the artist thing. I know you are one. Michael
