It is!
Digging around the Vendor tables at shows and open houses.... and many times, the vendor will point out interesting characteristics.
You know, when I bought my Sarcoglottis sceptrodes, I had no idea it had such interesting/ weird/neat blooms, I bought it for the pretty leaves. Only when it started to bloom the first time and I took pictures did I really see the "creatures". That actually happens to me a lot - I start seeing all sorts of things when I look at blooms under higher magnification or use different angles. So many Orchids have great character, many times going much beyond the obvious beauty.
Jim?
