Ron, the color is wonderful, the photograph equally as beautiful. I strolled through your Flickr site and I must tell you that it is most amazing! You have breathtaking photographs that are worthy of any Nat Geo Mag and the way you have them organized is spectacular. Thank you... your efforts are commendable.

Beautiful red! Althogh not uncommon, I like the stripped color patern in the lip, which was enhanced by the way you positioned the flower. Excellent photography!

Thanks, Howard. I love photography, though not as much as orchids, and Flickr is a great place to show off.

Thanks, Mauro. You don't do too badly yourself in the photography department.

I think there are lots of members of this board that take some wonderful pictures...to each of their individual abilities. I, for one, am thrilled to see such a collection of different orchids!
