Georgia O'Keefe made this sort of thing popular - with her paintings of vaginal flowers. Perhaps she missed her partner Alfred Stieglitz with whom she carried on a copious correspondence during the long periods when they were apart. (NPR reports on Sarah Greenough's volume of the letters - My Faraway One.) I suspect there's not much literary treasure in all today's email, tweets, and blogging, but the photography is really good now, as Jon Gelman shows us in this set taken at the orchid show.
