OOOH I love how you did the turn in the leaf. I think you came up with a much better pattern on your own! I know orchid flowers aren't big enough but I remember in a quilting mag years and years ago there was a contest winner of a Christmas quilt. It was applique of poinsetta's. The quilter had actually taken poinsetta leaves and petals to create her applique patterns. This is what yours reminds me of, cept you did it freehand.
