Martian Rainforest 09

In the Martian rainforest, orchid flowers bloom quietly and dreamily. They are delicate and exquisite, with a beauty that is otherworldly. The petals are like fine lace, and the colors range from pale pink to deep purple. These enchanted blooms seem to float on air, as if they were made for another world entirely. The rainforest is alive with the sound of insects and birdsong, but it is the gentle rustle of leaves in the breeze that sets the mood for this magical place. The trees here grow tall and stately, their branches laden with Spanish moss which drapes down like garlands. Vines twist around trunks and clamber up into the canopy where colorful parrots roost. It is cool beneath the leafy umbrella of foliage overhead, and shafts of sunlight filter through to dance among murmuring shadows.
