Endemic; The Green Swamp, NC
Original art; watercolor painting by Rose Ganucheau.

Orchids in the Landscape: This is one of a series of paintings of orchids growing in their natural habitat.  Through the years, I've experimented with many different types of background, but placing the plants in their natural habitat, although time-consuming, has produced the most satisfying results.  The Green Swamp in North Carolina is home to a host of unique plants including terrestrial orchids.  Showing an orchid's place among a myriad of other unique plants reminds us again that orchids are just one of many amazing plants in a rapidly shrinking natural world.
