This painting of a tiny orchid native to North America and rare in New England is rendered in gouache on Alphamat in the traditional composite style of botanical illustrations showing a small version of the plant in its habit (how it grows) and a close up of the flower parts. Suitable for a field guide on orchids or for trail guides showing native plants, it will be used in a notecard series.
