Some of my minis in bloom!
I got a new macro lens for my iPhone so I figured I would test it out. Note, not all the pics were taken with it, some of the flowers were too big for the lens.
Schoenorchis fragrans
Dryadella clavetella (what Ecuagenera sent as one, doesn't look quite right...)
Restrepia guttulata (flower won't open all the way, but still beautiful!)
Haraella retrocalla
Tolumnia Genting Volcano

Those are wonderful! The Schoenorchis fragrans is beyond beautiful, in fact. I have a couple of Haraella odorata; does retrocalla like to bloom as freely as does odorata?

I don't have H. odorata, but my retrocalla is always in spike. bud and/or bloom. Typically, as one flower begins to fade, another spike is well on its way. It keeps just enough time between flowers to make me miss them and then fall in love all over when it blooms again. |

Beautiful pictures, I recently purchased a macro lens for my iPhone as well! Some of these miniatures are impossible to photograph without a macro.
Beautiful flowers!

I don't think I have ever seen a better macro photo of Schoenorchis. The others are good too.  |
