A commission of a leadlight window design has been completed, showcasing three elegant white flowers of Dendrobium cunninghamii, commonly known as winika, pekapeka, or Christmas orchid, a native New Zealand orchid renowned for its beauty. This commission was created for a client in Seddon who holds a deep admiration for orchids and wanted a piece that would bring this natural elegance into their home. The leadlight technique enhances the petals’ soft white tones, contrasted subtly with green leaves and natural shades of yellow and red to evoke the orchid’s serene habitat.
