Inspired by My Own Orchids

As many know, the golden rule for orchid success is to duplicate the plant's natural conditions as closely as possible. As a "traditional gardener" this is what always was so intimidating.  In their natural state, most orchids are epiphyte; they grow on other objects, clinging to rough bark or even stone. The showy orchids favored by most people are usually either phalaenopsis hybrids (so-called moth orchids) or dendrobium hybrids.  The orchids in this painting are phalaenopsis hybrids.

What is upcycling?

Upcycling, also known as creative reuse, is the process of transforming by-products, waste materials, useless, or unwanted products into new materials or products perceived to be of greater quality, such as artistic value or environmental value
