Hi all π My entry for this week’s challenge, set by Ann-Christine: Flower Favourites & Why; this is also my post for Cee’s FOTD.
I have many favourites in the flower world, but I thought I’d concentrate on perhaps the most bizarre looking; the orchid. I think the appeal of orchids is the fact that some look decidedly otherwordly or from a different time period.
They also come in a huge variety of shapes, colours & sizes, as you can see from the gallery below. Apart from the last 3 pics, these were all shot in the tropical glasshouse at the Glasgow Botanic Gardens; the last 3 were my own orchid π
GREAT series Jez. Orchids are always shouting “I’M READY FOR MY CLOSEUP!”
One has to see God’s hand in this perfect structure and beauty
A beautiful gallery and a great explanation, Jez! I love orchids and yes, the are otherworldly…these are amazing all of them. I could spot my favourites too…Cattleyas or Cattleya hybrids.
Thanks, Leya π
I also like orcheids a lot Jezz! Great photos!
You do like orchids and take great photos of them π π
Your point is well-proven Jez! All beautiful including yours. They are indeed among the most varied species and really lovely
Thanks, Tina π
