Late spring blooms in the courtyard

Thank you all! I’m particularly pleased with that Coelogyne. I blasted the first spike after several months and this one took about 6-8 months to develop. Not sure if it’s supposed to take that long or not. It also looks like my little Coelogyne xyrekes is trying to bloom too, that one has just been a slow grower overall for me but it keeps chugging along. Now if I could only get that beast of a pandurata to spike It just got moved to higher light by the Catts so here’s hoping!

Also ..... I think I need THIS camera and lens!

Thanks and these were just taken on my iPhone 11 and for the close ups I just have a little clip on macro lense. Nothing too fancy. I would like to play around with my husbands fancy proper camera though

SJ ....... this really highlights the saying ----- 'you get what you pay for'. In this case --- you paid a lot, and get a lot!!! The photographs are so nice. It is also a combination of the quality of that phone-cam plus your own camera work (skills!). The results with the clip-on macro lens is impressive too.
