Painting Name: Slipper Orchid Buds

Slipper orchid Paphiopedilum ‘Freckles’

January 2022, once again needing a plant to paint we spent a happy hour at Burnham Orchid Nursery, otherwise known as Orchid Paradise – a name it lives up to! I came away with a slipper orchid in full flower. A second flower bud appeared which enabled me to record the bud as it gradually opened.

Original watercolour
