Orchids: The Art of Obession

orchid-coakley-obsession

You wake up, you go to work, you do stuff. I think everybody’s always looking for something a little unusual that can preoccupy them and help pass the time.”
― Susan OrleanThe Orchid Thief: A True Story of Beauty and Obsession

Garden photography is my “something a little unusual” that preoccupies me and helps pass the time.  Orchids also help me empty my wallet.  This one cost $30 at Super Stop & Shop.  I’m photographing Brussel Sprouts tomorrow: they’ll cost around $3.50 and I can eat them several days in a row.  It’s more economical to obsess about Brussel Sprouts.
