limelight Orchids

A generous, unhurried arrangement of limelight orchids by John Richard, scaled with the kind of architectural confidence that anchors a console or credenza without overwhelming it. At thirty-one inches tall and thirty-five inches wide, the composition reads as a considered horizontal mass — botanical abundance disciplined into something closer to sculpture than decoration. The palette carries that particular quality of green-lit white, luminous and interior, as though the blooms hold their own quiet light.
