Saying farewell to a special painting, made on commission for a client’s 70th birthday. The couple’s passion for orchids and nature is truly inspiring, and has made painting this scene a real pleasure. These little Disas have flowered in ABUNDANCE this year. Happy birthday Richard!

Busy with finishing touches to the background of Eulophia clitellifera, the first find of early orchid season. I love the intense maroon veins streaking the buttery petal cheeks.

Eulophia foliosa. Another widespread species occur

Eulophia foliosa. Another widespread species occurring from early summer in the Northern parts of South Africa. The flowers all face downwards, with a hairy maroon lip contrasting to the otherwise light, yellow-green waxy appearance. On closer inspection you’ll be treated to a subtle, zesty aroma.

Pterygodium catholicum. One of the more common ear

Pterygodium catholicum. One of the more common early flowering orchids found in the Cape. They secrete oil that attracts bees. See how lovely the petal ridges start to brown and how the older flowers blush to a deep reddish colour, perhaps signaling to the oil-collecting bees that they have been pollinated. 🐝
