Wild tropical orchids, rare orchids and some hybrids, Piet Brouwer

Dear mister Peter Briggs your sommentary sounds verry funny to me.
I met Rogier van Vugt in 2005 when he was just a a yong boy and worked in the greenhouse of Wubben orchids and understood little of photographers.
I taucht him to hold a camera and use a flashligt and how to make a good photograph of an orchid.
So the question here is: WHO IS COPYING WHO!!!
