I'd love to see these in person!

Thanks for looking and commenting, Tindo and Prem. Prem, if you come out this way I'll personally take you to see them. They're in bloom at higher elevations until June.

Really nice. I like all those shots of how they are growing.

Thanks again, Rosie.

beautiful! I always love seeing your photos of wild orchids! thanks :)

They've become almost as much of a passion as the orchids I grow indoors.
