Happy New Year! I am looking forward to the new year and I hope everyone has a a fruitful year full of surprises!
This microscopic orchid, like some orchids, anchors itself in the upper reaches of the canopies of tall, sturdy objects. In the case of full-size orchids of this nature, they would choose an optimal spot on a tree where they would catch the right mixture of moisture and nutrients. The microscopic orchid, though invisible to the naked eye, is no different from it’s larger cousin. This teeny little orchid may perch itself on any number of objects. They are known to reside upon houseplants (naturally), upper reaches of rooms in our homes and outside our home structures, and inside the cabs of our vehicles for the more adventurous individual. The auto variety chooses a window view and spends it’s life taking in all the sites and nutrients from travel. The microscopic orchid pictured above is the travelling kind and lives in our tangerine short bus (Honda Element) and I nearly missed her altogether, but for an ever-so-slight voice I once heard singing along to some music on low. I was intrigued and started examining the upper portions of my cab to find the source of this lilting small voice and with a magnifying glass, I found this exquisite little creature and took her picture in my mind and drew what I saw:) This is an altered sketch filtered through features on Corel Graphics Suite.
