Orchids

A photo book by Julius Keke

I’ve took many photos of orchid and they are beautiful. I think it is wasteful just to keep them in my hard disk. So I ask Uji to help me with the narration. She has been involved with orchid for some year and because her station was in the Taman Anggrek Indonesia Permai at TMII, she knows alot of names which help alot identifying the photo.

And so... we got the book of orchids... just as simple as that... any way it should not be complecated to enjoy the beauty....

The Photo Book of Orchids

Photos in this book were taken mostly in the farm, booths or display counter not in their natural habitat or in wild nor in studio environment.

Some of the flower were in perfect condition but some not in the full of their beauty any how these kind of flower you can never tell its ultimate beauty... Take an Cattleya for example.. how could we compare the beauty of each breed.. each of those so many kind of cattleya and the hybrid has its own unique of beauty in both shapes and colors..

The species just arrive from somewhere jungle n Indonesia also shows uniqueness and carry wild pretty aura compare to very well organized growth of hybrids of Phalaenopsis.
