I don't know about the rest of you, but I could use a bit of cheer in my life right now, I'm feeling weary and worn out by the constant stress induced by the progressing pandemic. So to help us get through lock down, the prospect of lock down, or just to forget every day worries and the empty TP shelves in supermarkets, I was thinking we could cheer things up with orchid photos.
Do you have any favorite photos of your orchids? Doesn't matter what, maybe you're proud to have finally gotten a plant to bloom, it holds a special place in your heart, you nursed it back from the brink of death, or just really like it. Doesn't matter if the photo is recent or many years old, show us your favorite blooms and tell us its story!
I'll start:
This was one of my favorite Phals (Phal. Anna-Larati Soekardi x Phal. wilsonii), until it died 7 years ago from a bacterial infection. This is also one of the first photos I took, as a DSLR newbie, that came out just the way I wanted. I've never been able to find this cross again.
Second photo is my Phal mannii 'Black', with one of the nicest spikes it has ever made. I'd like to get one that big again.
