Thanks for all the great pics.

Talk about awesome!

Photographs of any species of orchid growing in the wild is a big pain to find on the net!

It's pictures like these that help orchid growers truly understand where they are messing up with in growing their own orchids and show them what they can do to improve their growing strategies. As well as show what the orchids would look like if they were grown well.

Not to mention, it's not the same seeing orchid photos of those being cultured in the home/greenhouse versus those growing in nature.

Thanks!
