Greetings to all on this pleasant Florida evening! I am looking for maybe ten good images of orchids growing in the wild. I would be using these (with proper credit) as part of a presentation in which I hope to get the support of one of the natural history channels to do a special or possibly even a series on orchids, which have now surpassed African violets as the most popular house plant and which has, for two years, outsold poinsettias during the Christmas holidays. I have tremendous high definition images of orchid flowers (so many that it will be hard to choose from), but although I spent several days in my old "stomping grounds" in the Everglades and Big Cypress, I was only able to find three poor- looking terrestrials and one tiny Encyclia that did not look very healthy. Thus I need some dramatic shots of orchids up in trees that are in flower or some flowering terrestrial species.
Again, each photo will be credited and if this project gets picked up, I will be happy to pay for the use of the images. This is a tremendous opportunity to take orchids farther into the mainstream. The timing is now. Can anyone out there help? Thanks in advance!
