WOW!!!! I don't know why, but I love Catts. and related genera!

looks awsome lien!

That is stunning ! I bet is smells great too - does it ?

You know, I never remember to smell the flowers because i'm so used to paphs, which don't have scents. Also, i don't really like fragrances, so i don't usually smell the flowers!

Shame on you for not smelling them !!!

btw, are these your own pictures or are you scanning from an encyclopedia? hehe photos are just as beautiful as the subjects !

For the most part, orchids are quite easy to photograph. Just throw a black silk velvet background and snap away.

Birds and fish are another story! (I breed birds and used to breed fish). It's a lot easier to photograph that doesn't move than a bird that's flying all over the place or a fish that's swimming all over plus you have the reflection of the glass!

I have some hybrids coming into bloom, will photograph those as soon as they open.

It's also L. purpurata and L. tenebrosa season so many of those have buds swelling!

Fantastic colors in the lip - very nice.
