It is the end for the individual flower when it falls from it’s spike, but the plant continues to grow, hopefully producing a new single flower the following year.

Each direct print is a one-of-a-kind record of the flower just at the end of it’s life, from a single Paphiopedilum plant, nurtured at Atelier do Tijolo. As such, this project is slow in it’s developmental stages and only produces, at most, two unique prints a year. Additional sketches and studies may be produced from the plant during the flowering season.
