The New York Botanical Gardens is running a special orchid exhibit. This seemed like a good opportunity for me to go and practice taking pictures since I don't otherwise take many during the winter.

Trees are more likely than not to be boring subjects for photos. Sometimes lighting and shape come together though to make for a good picture. Here are some that I think turned out nice in large part because of the environment and not so much the tree itself.

If it's not a tree or a flower, then I call it a plant. I know that isn't accurate especially when I include mushrooms in the lot. So yes, the plant category on this site is a bit of a catchall.

Flowers are the butterflies of the plant world. They're beautiful on their own. Good lighting or an interesting angle are just bonuses. I'm a fan of backlit flower pictures where some component of the flower has as a bit of a halo.
