Yep, some of the people at the Illowa orchid show still don't want photographers to be able to see their plants. This background is the worst, though it helps slightly if one can photograph so the background is at an angle, as on the right side of this photo. I don't know why the presenter thinks this is a good idea.
The flowers are pretty cool, though. You would no doubt agree, if you could

I should maybe start giving Sheba treats after taking her picture. It's hard to get her attention.
