Description
I took this beautiful orchid image while photographing a wedding for a friend in Michigan 2009. The wedding took place on the bride's parent's beautiful property. Orchids are easily distinguished from other plants, as they share some very evident derived characteristics or synapomorphies. Among these are: bilateral symmetry of the flower (zygomorphism), many resupinate flowers, a nearly always highly modified petal (labellum), fused stamens and carpels, and extremely small seeds. The color yellow is associated with activity, optimism, and happiness, so it only makes sense that yellow orchids symbolize new beginnings, friendship, and joy.
