Vanilla phaeantha

[Justin Parkkonen]

I thought I would make a thread just for the Vanilla phaeantha. Please share your photos or experiences of this beautiful orchid, especially in the wild!

Here are the four photos I took:

Oh, I love seeing Vanilla pics... but I can't see them

You have to log in to Picasa and my login details are at home so I'm have to come back and take a look.

Those flowers are just wonderful. Great pics.

Have you noticed a tiny spider or similar near the top of the flower in the third pic?

Nice shot Justin. I've taken many shots of this flower but I'm having trouble finding my shots of vanilla flowers but here's one.

Justin, just wanted to say that I looked at your vanilla photos, then snooped through all the rest. Incredible photography work, would love to have 1/2 of your talent....maybe a better camera as well.

Prem,

Very cool page (on the whole and in regards to the Vanilla as well). I've looked at your page many times and do not recall seeing the Vanilla. Was it always there?

Thanks for sharing!

I just added it last night...your post inspired me to get these photos uploaded and the page added to the database.
