Title: Heath Spotted Orchid Medium: Watercolour and pencil One of the paintings featured in How to grow native orchids in gardens large and small. For the book I wanted to show the orchids with other wild flowers they are commonly found with. This painting features Heath Spotted Orchid (Dactylorhiza maculata) growing with Tormentil (Potentilla erecta) and Common Cottongrass (Eriophorum angustifolium). The setting is a moorland flush in early July. |

Title: Burnt Orchid 2 Medium: Watercolour and pencil What better way to brush up on my botanical artwork skills, for the illustrations in my upcoming book on growing native orchids, than by painting my favourite little gem? Unfortunately this is not a plant for the garden.It is too particular in its requirements. Far better to enjoy it in the few reserves where it can still be found. |
