Artist's Notes:
"This painting portrays an
orchid commonly referred to as
the moth or butterfly orchid. It is
one of the most recognizably
elegant of all the orchid
species. One solitary flower in
full bloom on the stem exuding
a strong and powerful
presence. Butterflies symbolize
beauty, freedom, and the
feeling associated with the
nervousness one feels before
a performance. When the lights
come up our inner strength and
intuition take over so that we
may perform, sometimes to our
own surprise, perfectly. I
dedicated this piece to my
daughter, Laura, who has
shown great inner strength and
resolve in the face of adversity
in spite of the butterflies."

American Orchid Society - Director of Education Note:
Almost certainly Phalaenopsis equestris is found in the background of the small-flowered multifloral Phalaenopsis hybrid that
inspired this work. Phalaenopsis equestris, distributed from the Philippines to Taiwan, was described in 1843 by Schauer. While
highly variable in color, this species is important in imparting compact flower size, plant size and branched inflorescences to its
hybrids and Phalaenopsis equestris is in the background of nearly all so-called semi-alba (those with white flowers and a
contrasting colored lip) as well striped hybrids.
