Many thanks:-) I must say, I may be struggling with quite few orchid species, but Bulbo's just LOVE my balcony and our Florida weather! BIG PLUS, impossible to over water them, which I love the most :-)

amazing flowers....they seem to be in flight. I am glad you can take pictures at night, I tried it even with flash it isn't working for me its the daytime skies that really works....

Thanks Bud
yeah, night pics are truly totally different, although I love the ones against the blue sky you usually take. Sometimes the color pops up more on the black background though. Weird you can not take the pics at night, I know I have profi camera, however most of the regular cameras (even the cheap ones these days) have at least NIGHT SHOOT SET UP, usually marked with the moon symbol or such. Maybe try that. I do take them in P mode or M mode on my Canon, and always with flash. I would love to see your Bulbo on Black background, that color would be amazing:-)

Shirley opened another 2 blooms and new spike is pushing through. This time I did blue cloudy sky pics, looks great as well, I think;-)
