How do they get the flowers so perfect for photos?
I'm sure there are people who use splints and tape, but seriously, how do they do it. Here's an example. Both photos are links to Cattleya walkeriana 'Jungle Queen' photos. The first flower has flat petals, the side lobes above the lip are uniform, and the lip is straight and nicely presented. In the second photo the petals are ruffled and curled back, the side lobes are not uniform, and the lip is ruffled. Edit: I added one more photo. I want my pictures to look like the first flower.
