EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Bob Gibbons, we are transported to a magical wet meadow in Dordogne, France. Amidst the lush greenery and glistening dewdrops, stands a rare gem - the Loose-flowered Orchid or Lax-flowered Orchid (Orchis laxiflora). With its vibrant pink and purple hues, this European beauty effortlessly steals the show. Its delicate petals seem to be engaged in an elegant dance with the gentle breeze, creating a mesmerizing spectacle that is truly awe-inspiring.
