I am a botanical artist working on a thesis project on 4 native orchids, and am looking for great photos to use as reference for my art - or hopefully better than my own photos. Would you be open to having some of your photos used this way? Thank you for considering - I'm happy to answer any questions you may have about the project, and use of the images.

Mostly we f...Hi Martin,<br />Trust you are recovering. <br />Mostly we find Calypsos growing as single plants also but occasionally one finds a beautiful clump of them. Hope we are able to show you some when you are here.<br />We have shocks like that also, as when we returned to the site of an all-white Calypso and found that someone had dug it up.<br />As to the season it is early here also, as early as I can remember, and I am hoping it does not affect our plans too much.Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02396895652310296971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2622428321840240802.post-84617697695627005742014-04-11T12:52:30.845-07:002014-04-11T12:52:30.845-07:00Hi Ron,

Also: good work showing them in their natural, unspoiled habitat. <br /><br />I myself had the shock for the weekend already. I went to an Orchid mascula site, to find it mostly destroyed. Somebody ran all over the place with landscaping or heavy agricultural gear. The brutality of that really made me mad, even more so, since it is species struggling for survival in my area. <br /><br />It is still abundent in other areas, but massively declining in the lower Taunus.<br />Astonishingly enough, the plants were already blooming.<br />We are now talking 4 genera blooming in Germany. Ophrys (3), Orchis (4), Dactylorhiza (sambucina) and Anacamptis (Anacamptis morio). <br /><br />I cannot remember that this has ever happened so early before.<br /><br />Regards, <br />MartinAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09165108629079106354noreply@blogger.com
