About Me

{{{Welcome}}}Hi, I hardly read this thing and I keep adding to it.
I'am a artistI am an orchid-inspired artist. My passion for orchids blossomed when I was seventeen and evolved into an addiction ,I have no desire to cure. These wonderful flowers never cease to inspire me and capture my imagination. I gave in to their lure and magic. This is the story of my love affair with: phalaenopsis, cymbidium, cattleya, paphiopedilum, odontoglossum... the old surnames roll off the tongue easily. Eventually. Once you've taken the vows. It is an order, almost. A secret, mysterious sect. T H E S E C T O F T H E O R C H I D For millions of years, the orchid family has been expanding. It thrived, defying evolution, the savage elements, and the exploitation of its greatest enemy -- Man. For thousands of years, this succulent flowering plant has been captured and cultivated by him, stolen and loved for its beauty, its fragrance, its nobility, its feminine elegance, its striking classic beauty. These are the royalty of the flower world. Each individual flower within a species may produce virginal blooms dissimilar to the parent, making them unique. This variability in appearance appears both in nature and in cultivated plants. Hybridizers take advantage of this gift when breeding them, producing new colors, form and traits. { P H E R O M O N E S } I enjoy examinening the newest flowers and to meet with orchid aficionados to keep me current on new species and scientific breakthroughs. The S.B. convention is held once a year at the Earl Warren show grounds. This is where anyone can really enjoy the orchids and see them displayed in beautiful, elaborate settings and speak with the growers. The air is electric. It sends of off fragrance and pheromones that intoxicate the senses. Pretty sexy stuff. You can leave with this high and it can last for days, especially if you bring one home with you. I smelled an orchid that bloomed with the scent of Bijon perfume. Renowned specialist Gorge Vasquez of Zuma Canyon Orchids, second generation growers in Malibu, was enthusiastic with me about the prospect of these designer orchids. He believes along with me that the future of customization of the blooms' size, color and fragrance is boundless with new ideas. I was also fortunate enough to meet the international educator Andy Easton, whose zealousness really sparked my interest in learning more about these from a technical standpoint. He is up on what's popular with the public and what new flowers have potential to be in fashion. Attending these conventions and orchid society meetings keeps me inspired. Keeps my love fresh and exciting. As well as passionate friends that have encouraged me along the way. The friends I have made are just as wonderful as the flowers themselves. Their passion has rubbed off on me, and they are very passionate flowers! The blossoms themselves, using color patterns, delicate, sensual shapes, and beautiful scents, has adapted to mimic the look and smell of the insect it needs to attract in order to propagate. An invitation for pollination. When the invitation is accepted, the proboscis, a tubular feeding and sucking organ of insects like moths and butterflies, is inserted into the flower's spur where the nectar gathers in a pool. The nectar is the reward for the insect and the insect's cargo of pollen, carried away to opposite sex plants, is the reward of the species. One orchid even has an 11-inch spur and it took 50 years to find it but a moth with an 11-inch proboscis is its pollinator. The interior lives of these secretive, lusty creatures is fascinating. I have good things going on inside of me, too, and there is so much more to come. Orchid memorabilia or collectibles areOrchid memorabilia or collectibles are almost as popular as the flowers themselves, but unlike green plants, my tiny bonsai orchids require no care or feeding, just love. My love for orchids inspired me to create an artifact – one to keep, treasure and hand down through generations. It has taken four years to perfect the casting process, but at last I can present to you a line of exquisite jewelry that literally captures the beauty of the orchid bloom; a real bonsai Phalaenopsis orchid cast in 14k yellow, pink or white gold. A piece to save forever, heirloom quality, completely unique. L'Orchidée... Apprécié pour sa beauté, sa fragrance, sa noblesse, son élégance de femme, sa beauté classique frappante. La famille d'orchidée est la redevance du monde de fleurs. Chaque fleur individuelle dans une espèce peut produire des éclats innocents différents au parent, en les faisant unique. Cette variabilité apparaît en apparence tant dans la nature qu'aux usines cultivées. Hybridizers profitent de ce cadeau en les produisant, en produisant de nouvelles couleurs, une forme et des traits. Aux mains d'ingénieurs génétiques et de hybridizers exubérant, le monde apprécie des centaines de nouvelles fleurs en moyenne par an.Ma passion pour les orchidées a fleuri quand j'avais dix-sept ans et ai évolué dans un penchant je n'ai aucun désir de guérir. Ces magnifiques fleurs ne cessent jamais de m'inspirer et capturer mon imagination. J'ai cédé à leur attrait et magie, en prenant le Monstre d'Orchidée de nom.Il a pris quatre ans à parfait le processus de fonte, mais finalement je vous présente une ligne de juif exquisCiao Combattimento il buon ~ di lotta sono un artistaIl Orchid... Goduto per la relativa bellezza, la relativa fragranza, il relativo nobility, la relativa eleganza femminile, la relativa bellezza classica notevole. La famiglia del orchid è la sovranità del mondo del fiore. Ogni fiore specifico all'interno di una specie può produrre le fioriture di virginal dissimili al genitore, rendente lei uniche. Questa variabilità nell'apparenza compare sia in natura che in piante coltivate. Hybridizers approfitta di questo regalo quando le alleva, producendo i nuovi colori, forma e caratteristiche. Alle mani degli assistenti tecnici genetici e dei hybridizers exuberant, il mondo gode le centinaia di nuovi fiori in media all'anno.La mia passione per i orchids è sbocciato quando ero diciassette ed evoluto in un'aggiunta che non ho desiderio da curare. Questi fiori meravigliosi non cessano mai di ispirarli e bloccare la mia immaginazione. Ho dato dentro al loro lure e magia, prendenti il freak nome del orchid.Ha occorr quattro anni per perfezionare il processo del pezzo fuso, ma in fine I presente a voi una linea dei exquis..
