Found a slipper orchid in a painting

[silence882]

Hi All,

I was in New Orleans for a few days and stumbled across a slipper orchid in a painting in an art gallery. We were there to see a Chihuly glass exhibition, but this was tucked away in a side room:

Here's a link to the piece on the gallery's website:

It's nice to see slippers popping up in odd places.

No matter how much I water or fertilize I've never been able to grow mine that large. Maybe I need take up the guitar.

Must have Mystic Jewel "celery seed" in the genetics.

Interesting... thanks for sharing.

I hope it's not a relative of that main plant in "Little Shop of Horrors".

But neat finding one in an unexpected place.
