    It's a clamp that holds the plant to the stick. Without it, the plant would not be upright.

    Thank you Susan.
    Yes, the light come from my favorite window on an overcast day. Maybe some day I will buy me a light that I can use anytime but for now the window serves me well.

    Thanks Brian,
    Nit picking is what make us better photographers. Keep doing it.
    As for the clip, the owner of the plant would not let me touch it!!

    Re: Orchid

    One question -- is the owner of the plant your wife? Tread softly...get rid of the stick.
