This is a syndication, and plug of this nat geo article ByAlexa Keefe with Photographs by Christian Ziegler - which I suggest reading there.

Perhaps the photpgrapher subscribes to William Blake's transcendent view - given in his prose:

To see a World in a Grain of Sand

And a Heaven in a Wild Flower

Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand

And Eternity in an hour

• Blake

"Both the shape and color of orchids are crucial. Everything depends on them," Ziegler says. "Sometimes I like the straightforward look of a simple portrait—just the flower—especially when it is small and you need to drive attention to it."

Please enjoy with credit to the article author and researcher and photographer. A worthy contribution to be sure.
