WW: Miltoniopsis Eros 'Kensington' Pink Orchids

Pink Orchid Flower Photo

"I decided that if I could paint that flower in a huge scale, you could not ignore its beauty."
- Georgia O'Keeffe

The orchid house in the conservatory at Longwood Gardens is immense, but these magenta pink orchids are one of my favorite kinds!
