You could probably make a lot of us old coots look good in pictures.

I'm happy to be able to show the new Podangis owners what to expect next blooming season! I did notice when comparing with last's year's photos that my plant was not happy at some point. I obviously didn't pay attention that the largest of the smaller growths lost all its leaves, and what I thought was a new growth this spring is actually that growth restarting.
The photos were taken with a 90mm macro lens, and for the extreme closeups I used another smaller lens thingy which mounts on the end of the normal lens to give a bit more magnification. A tripod and a good external light source are also necessary when trying to get nice macro shots with good depth of field (f/20 in these photos). I was hesitating to borrow a friend's super macro lens, but that would have been overkill! (with that lens you can take nice detailed shots of small insects like aphids).

Looks great! Is that a terrarium/orchidarium you have it growing in?

Yes! Not sure exactly what to call it but its where I have all my non potted orchids that get watered 1-2x daily. Crazy how many plants I've jammed in here... Everyone seems happy though and the podangis fits right in  |

That looks awesome!! I see you have some sort of plastic behind/around, but how do you deal with all the dripping water?
