Orchid Clones

Yesterday's shot and today's picture were done by shooting the refraction through 'water beads'. Water beads are made of a polymer gel that swell in water. They are used in floral arrangements to keep the flowers fresh.

I have to ask a florist friend for water beads,

@jayberg Will do. I did try the water drops on a cd case and it turned out looking somewhat like the water beads. :) http://365project.org/bernadette/365/2013-04-10
