The Phalaenopsis – or Moth Orchids – are some of the most popular orchids for people who want to grow orchids. Originally found in Asia, Australia and some of the many islands in the Pacific, they are now available worldwide due the breeding of many hybrid varieties.
Here are a few of the Moth Orchids I’ve photographed in recent years:
