An Orchid is like a Woman

Wow it's a beautiful poem. So inspiring

Your pictures want me to touch the flowers and smell the beauty of the soul deeply rooted and out just lovely your words bloom about

Beautiful flowers and comparison!

How can i orders all 9 prints with the poems? Doc G

What a perfect piece of poetry to go along with your photography, Kathi. I pinned the photos-they are all very captivating, as are the words of your poem. What an interesting comparison; I really enjoyed it. UP/U/I/A/B and shared.

Hi Kathi.... what a beautiful hub this has been. Your comparisons and photos are just wonderful and so relate the beauty of both the Orchid and the lady in all of the female population... Excellent writing.

Hugs and Blessings from Canada

Sharing this again, Kathy.

Beautiful, the pictures match the words. Amazing and well versed with beautiful pictures, loved the way you compared the delicate and beautiful Orchid to a Woman :) creative.

Your poetry and photographs are so provocative. Every stop by your hub brings not only a smile, but a warmth. You are truly an artist. I feel so lucky to have discovered your beauty.

Oh so truly beautiful.

Voted up.

You have very beautifully metaphorically churned out the subject. I really liked the idea and the way you contoured your subject.

Sharing this ode to femininity again, Kathi. Beautiful.

Great and appropriate comparison. Orchids are indeed liker Women; delicate, beautiful and enduring.

Hello Fossillady, this is so beautiful. It has taken me a while to find you, but I'm glad to have done so now. Better late than never. Gosh we have many interests in common, including fossils and phalaenopsis. I have 15 that have bloomed many times during the last 12 years! Beautiful Hub, and I will read the others too!

Hi Kathi, I am always 'late'... an interesting niche so often frowned upon by clocks and rigid followers of worn paths! This piece is superb and is filled with so much love, purity and class... how could one not appreciate such unique words and images framed in such talent and beauty! I love orchids almost as much as women... I've found that niche has been of timeless value and great inspiration in my life... thank you for your gentle reminder of that... take care... PD

Spot on, Kathi....the orchid has always represented femininity. And it is a strong, hardy flower! Thanks for sharing! Passing this on!

This is a beautiful work of poetry and photography. Epi and always exploring mentioned your work in a comment on my Delta Ponds hub, so I had to come see.

What a great illustration and comparison! Beautiful!

Thank you Fossillady for inspiring words and inner beauty to what orchids bring to you and us.

Wonderful piece of art. Thank you very much for sharing with us.

This is beautiful...I adore orchids, the symbolism of life.

Longevity. A bud dies...a new one blooms and when cared not try always come back alive.

Hi Fossi! This is the first time I have come across your work and I am glad I did :)

Breathtaking pictures... mesmerizing poetry... I have never seen such a beautiful metaphor linking a woman... to an orchid..

Simply beautiful!

Fabulous poetry with beautiful photography that captured essence of your words. The orchid with the light behind it was sublime - "the orchid gleams in moonlight." Sharing.

Forwarded this beautiful language & images to friends in USA.....my compliments, and thank you.

Fossillady such beautiful photos to match your beautiful words.

Lovely comparisons, beautifully written and amazingly illustrated. Your photography is awesome. A delight to the eyes. Thank you for this visual gem.

Fantastic photography enhanced by your talented prose. No wonder the orchid is the Queen of the flowers. Best wishes to you.

Very apt and beautifully put

...I wish I could frame your photographed flowers Kathi and sleep with them under my pillow so I could dream about them all of the time - I wish you happiness and good health always - and it was a miracle/a good day when we met my beautiful and talented friend.

.....that's because you're someone special too - tee hee and I have enjoyed my birthday today and I am off tonight with pay - the sun is shining, I cut the grass, went for a walk along my beach, the cats have been out all day and when I look at you Kathi I am 19 again!

...and Kathi, you're still my favorite 'orchid' of all time - and I see you connected with Movie Master - thanks to you know who!

Well, fossillady I am working my way through your hubs, it's taking a long time purely because, I am reading each one over and over again, this is my favourite so far! amazing photos thank you.

...thinking of you Kathi on this Mother's Day with love, respect and admiration. My mum was my best friend.

And yes my favorite 'orchid' I send everyone here to see your fabulous hubs.

That was one Beautifully written and Photographed Hub. WOW, I am truly speechless, My dear friend Fossillandy.

This hub is a work of art! voted up and beautiful.

Dear Kathi, this is so beautiful and sensuous. I love the photographs and how your camera lens has caressed the flower in every angle- you are a consummate visual artist. As for the poem, the allegory is simply sumptuous. You have captured and comparisions so well. You are a rare flower in hubland- someone who can not only render textual poetry but can also adorn them with the visual one too. Absolutely gorgeous. My eyes are aching for more. voted up and awesome!

Hi Fossillday,

Yes, I have not been as active here in HP lately. Everything is good, just many things occupying me lately.

Thank you!

What a beautiful combination of poem and photos! I love this! Did you take the photos? They are perfect!

This is beautiful in so many ways!

Beautiful pictures. Your presence on hub pages is like an orchid. Each of your writings and photo essays are blossom with the next. Thank you for this amazing hub. Rated up and beautiful.

Very beautiful.

Hi Kathi --- i am not online so often so i am afraid that this hub slipped through my net but better late than never.

It is beautiful ... normally i don't like poems with pictures together because they both seem to crowd and compete for your attention but this one is different. You display a light and sensitive touch which says so much more, the words and the images complement each other. Multum in parvo as they say, and which i really believe... Beautiful hub Kathi --- i will never call u the Fossillady again, now you are the Flowerlady :-) :-)

Just had to come back to this one, read it and vote it up again. Your a beautiful soul and I know JOE is very proud of this poem and all your work. :) Katie

Beautiful!

So beautiful poem and flowers.

Why did I always think there was something poisonous about an orchid ? Goes to show you why I always shyed away from them ........both the flower and the woman.LOL.Excellent write and photos.

......may you always be in a perpetual state of bloom Kathi .....because you will always be the prettiest sweetest flower in epi's vase!!!!!!

Very very beautiful Fossillady. This is so true. Although I've seen some orchids turn into cryptid carnivorous plants. God bless you dear!

It is quite difficult to decide since I love so many of your hubs... but I think this may be my favorite of your hubs. As always you photography is amazing as is your poetry.

Very perceptive and displays your intimate knowledge with the flower. I can't disagree with a single comparison you make here. Quite lovely.

Thank you for the high praise on my laundry poem. You feedback is always welcome. Peace.

loved it!

Lovely Fossillady. I especially liked the back lit orchids and the macro one.

A truly beautiful hub about one of my favorite flowers. You make a lovely comparison!

I agree with you. Orchid is always beautiful like a woman. When the flower blooms like the woman show their smile. Amazing and great idea from you. Rated up.God bless you. Take care!

Prasetio

Orchid are amazingly mesmerizing, beautiful, unique and magical and is like a woman. Beautiful and very well spoken. :) Katie

The sensitivity of an orchid that a woman beholds I could not have expressed it better than you!! Great reading material Lady! I WUBBED IT!!

smiles :)

bella

Beautiful stunning photos. and lovely poem. Very nicely written if only it was me you were describing lol

Fossi, Hee, Erin Lefey wants to go with us this time. The croud is growing. Woo Hoo

Orchids are as beautiful as a woman. I felt as if I could take in the fragrance of the flower, esquisite. Thank you for sharing.

This hub is incredible. I adore orchids, although I am not great at looking after them properly!

Your words are beautiful and the pictures totally stunning. I certainly hadn't thought of orchids in this way before!

...and you are the most beautiful 'orchid' of them all Kathi !!!!! Your photography reminds me of Georgia O'Keefe (the painter) and her flowers - high praise indeed - and your sacred words always poetically accentuate these images so beautifully - leaving me to say, breathlessly, this is a world class art and poetry exhibit - and a veritable feast for the mind and the eyes!!!

What a Beautiful Poem and Experience is shared by all of us as we read your Poem, and look at the Exquisite Photography...Wow Fossillady, Wow!

Hee, Ain't it the truth.
