My first love is growing orchids and from this I have turned to making purses with orchid designs, either with applique or hand embroideried orchids. I am learning about quilting from this wonderful board in order to make my purses more interesting. When people think about orchids, they picture ones like the moth orchids (Phalaenopsis) or the corsage orchids (Cattleya), but orchids are a very diverse family and there are so many different species that you might not recognise them as orchids. Here are a couple different ones I grow.
