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

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
