Den. Frosty Dawn, A Den. Dawn Maree Hybrid
 

Den. Frosty Dawn is a Den. Dawn Maree hybrid bred by H&R Nurseries in Hawaii. This is the second year that the plant has bloomed. The lip on this Frosty Dawn is darker red than the other Frosty Dawns that are in bloom. Most have orange colored lips.

Very nice, Mel!

I really like the photo especially the detail of the stem. I did not realize this plant is so beautiful in close-up.

Like a glass of red wine.....very nice

Wow, that's an incredible photo!! Could you please tell me how you take such beautiful photos?

Hi. Thank you very much for your compliments. Photography is a hobby for me after orchids. I have a pretty good digital Canon camera (Canon 5D) and lens setup. For the past couple of months, I have been using a flash to take my photos indoors. That way I don't have to battle with the wind and other elements which could cause the flowers and plant to move. I also use a tripod to eliminate any camera movement. Once you get the equipment in place, it's then a matter of finding a few good plants to take pictures of.

Too cute. I love it. Now that I'm enjoying some success with Dens, I'll put this on my wish list.

Gorgeous plant - that color is pretty amazing!! I have a frosty dawn from H&R that I'm hoping will bloom soon...and the photography is excellent. I am thinking of buying a digital SLR camera soon, mainly for taking orchid/other plant photos so it's good to hear what photographers use.

That has wonderful colours :love:

I have several Frosty Dawns currently in bloom. Most have orange colored lips as shown in the following links:
