Also posted in the photography thread as examples of what can be done with lighting. The three are:

M. welischii 'Rip Hoff'


M. Falcon's Gold


M. constricta

Wow, just elegant, absolutely eleagant pieces of nature. Great photos too. You really captured their elegance.

Nice photos.

Read your comment on the Masd constricta pic...

I think it's fine. I'd imagine that it'd be difficult to make the light bend with the bend of the sepaline tube.

Thanks for looking, Philip. You are right, I think. I just couldn't get the light to shine all the way down the tube - the narrow throat probably has something to do with it, too.

Thanks very much for looking and commenting, Rosie. You always seem to be lurking around the corner here on OB:-)

Should have mentioned that the Masd. constricta flowers are huge, about 5.5 inches from tip to tip of the tails on a plant that's only about 4 inches tall.

Fantastic photos Ron.
My favorite is the Falcon's Gold, you can image how soft and velvety it is from the pic. Beautiful!!
