Rlc. Dream Trader

[SouthPark]

Yes! It is an odd name for sure ..... Dream Trader haha.

This one only just opened yesterday, and the lip appears to still be opening up more - a little bit more to go maybe.

I took advantage of the sunlight to get some nice colours to share of this nice flower for everybody.

The flower itself wasn't actually pointing skywards etc to begin with hahaha. It is just oriented like that, as I clipped the spike to the green coloured stake - and that's how it ended up after clipping it heheh.

It is WW! It is! But I won't be held 'responsible' for it hahahaha. I have an 'excuse' hehehehe.

The genuine excuse is ----- it came as an extra (gift) in the shipping when I purchased an Rlc. Memoria Crispin Rosales. I had only seen some Rlc. Dream Trader images before in the past - and even the name appeared odd to me. But genuinely grateful and honoured to have received this one.

I had forgotten that I had 'chastised' JS hahaha. But I think he has forgiven me - which I will apologise for it - as I know what you guys and girls mean about 'floof' or 'floofy'. This term is rarely or maybe never used in Australia - I think ------ but we can fit it in hahaha.

All our orchid flowers are beauties indeed! Lately, I've been trying to find out some more about whether or not cameras and computer display monitors are able to capture or reproduce more of the details of the orchid flowers.

For this particular flower, and some (or many) other cattleya flower ----- there's often one extra spectacular effect or feature ----- the flowers having sparkle or glitter. A lot of catts and other orchid flowers have those sparkles too. Maybe in the future, our video gear will be able to capture the sparkles!

For some conditions - when zoomed up close enough - some sparkles can be seen. They're usually seen when the sun light is shining on the flower. With photo images, the sparkles that we would normally see with the eyes just turn into what appears specks of sand!

Maybe this close-up portion (Click Here) shows up as glitter on some computer monitors!

Yes! Shows up as glitter on my monitor. Well done!
