I admire your lack of patience, Gary! Here in Holland there's so much
wind every day one would be inclined to tear out the plant all
together, and than bring it back home to photograph.... Specially those
rare, protected plants like Orchids, of course. But then, being an
ex-biologist, I'd rather bring along a small portable wind-shield
created from transparant plastic and gardening sticks.
