Don't apologize for your photo quality.....as long as we can see your beautiful flower. I love the colors on this ....the texture and form. The leaf is shiny, you must have cleaned it before the shoot. My leaves have fertilizer specks and no matter how much I clean its not as presentable as your leaves.

Thanks Bud.
BTW - I didn't clean the leaves. I have never cleaned any of my orchid leaves as what would be the point of spraying ?  . I think that the glossiness is because of the violacea background. My violacea is just as glossy.

Yea, most of my (especially newer) leaves are glossy, I don't clean mine either... Unless its really bad. Yea, violacea seems to make for shiny leaves! A few other species as well...
