Wild orchids

Orchids are commonly used as decorative plants, mainly for their funny shapes and colorful flowers. But it was during my stay in Western Australia that I discovered that they are much more diverse and widesread that I could ever imagined. Orchids can be found all over the world, growing in almost every habitat apart from glaciers. This is probably the reason why they have evolved and adapted in so many different ways in order to reproduce.

This project is a collection of images taken while learning about this incredible new world for me. It has been a highly rewarding process that has allowed me to appreciate the small and ephemeral beauty of wild flowers.
