Thanks Jim! Is that the same for my variety? It reads: Paph Raisin Pie 'Hsinying' x SIB (Paph. Supersuk 'Eureka)? Just want to be sure... Thanks!

[JennS]

Oh good, then I will take some new pics and post them here since I have at least one newly opened since this started if not more... I'll work on that this weekend.

Thanks to Ross help, I finally managed to get a picture of my Lc. Su Nan Hwi 'J.D.' that looks very close to reality No matter what I tried before, the flowers always looked too red in the pictures. Ross advice, use only 6500K light, no flash, and light calibration in the camera (I set the camera to fluorescent light, and then took different pictures at different calibrations, until I had de desires effect) once more: Thanks a lot, Ross!

The second photo is to show more or less the effect I had, before applying Ross advice. (this picture was taken only using 3000K light, but pictures taken with flash or daylight had a similiar reddish touch)

You mean that the two photos are of the exact same plant, one without and one with Ross's advice? If so, that is a huge, huge difference in color! I had trouble with some colors, but the difference is never so great.

Very nice blooms by the way!

Nice job Ramon. As I've said before, blues in flowers are very difficult to capture without some advance setup and good post-processing. Looks great.

Once more, thanks Ross!!
