Orchid botanical posters?
 
anyone have a source, not one of a kind things but poster reprints of some sort that dont cost an arm and a leg? I love the ones on Matt Gore's site particulary the paph dayanum, paph phil. roebellenii and paph. phil. alba. I've asked Matt about them but the ones he has on his site are from pictures from photos.

To heck with that. Press and dry your own specimens, then mount them with glue to mounting paper. Thats how they preserve them for museums.

no way dude...then that means i have to give the blooms a short lived life! How about taking a bloom and putting it in a jar of epoxy and let it harden? it would make a nice paperweight or something

Well its much worse than that. You would have to take a leaf with pseudobulb and roots and all too. :coverlaugh:

As I understood the prints are drawings, not a herbarium? So get a nice specimen and attend drawing classes. You will have both - drawings and nice live specimen.

lol me draw??? I wouldn't make it very far. I took classes in college and well lets just say i didnt do to well in those classes:lol:

You can employ a proffesional painter for few days. It will be cheaper than old posters and you wouldn't need to kill rare and expensive plants. ;)
