Those are amazing photos. How did you get so close?I thought they were in a protected park.

they are but you have to take a serious beating, almost to the point of fainting nothing you can do except drink lots of water I drink lots of orange juice for prevention of muscle cramping need to eat for energy and to try to avoid collapsing,,,but you're allowed to walk in the park P.S--lots of walking to find all these consentrations of these rare Beauties

I admire you for all the very hard work you do to get these pictures, if not for people like yourself many of us would never see these beautiful orchids.
Someday you should write a book on your experiences trying to save and photograph these orchids.

Mike the pictures are magical. No one alive today has probably seen so many together in such good form!

I have seen your previous posts. You now have enough for a book.
