Wow, I've seen them on the web and wondered if they were actually out there! Is the culture any different? More/less light?
I LOVE it!!!!!!!!!

Now that's an interesting composition. I think I like the way the plant is visible, but the subject is clearly the blossoms. Did you light for this effect or is this Photoshop?

thanks, the lighting did it. I photographed at night so I didn't get any sunshine. I had another photo where I turned on every light but I didn't like it as much

My vendor sunburnt it so I had it for a low price so for this reason I would suggest lower lighting. I've never been to their greenhouse so I don't know how their lighting is, but they are expert growers. |

Hi Dame,
My current avatar is P. Ever Spring Fairy "Shan Pin" FCC/AOS
There are quite a few Ever Spring Harlequin Phals with only slight variations. Hope this helps,
