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.
