How's This For RED! - Orchid Board

Hasegawara Red Stella 'Carmela'

Three pictures, one with flourescent white balance, one with daylight balance and the third is a blend between them. The blend is 100% of the flouro pic with a 40% opaque overlay with the daylight image. The third picture is more like the true color of the flower.

No scent that I can detect.

I have noticed that a LOT of orchids have cultivar names of Carmela. I now have three, I think.

It is REALLY FLAT too!!!!!

It's very nice Steven. Carmela Orchids is on the Big Island of Hawaii. I had the pleasure of visiting their greenhouse last summer. Of course I brought a couple of plants home with me including another catt with a 'Carmela' cultivar name. They've been in the business longer than anyone else in the islands so they told me.

It was fun being 'forced' to learn something new about PS Elements. It took a little while to get the two different flower images lined up so there was not a blurring effect.
