Default Some of my minis in bloom!

I got a new macro lens for my iPhone so I figured I would test it out. Note, not all the pics were taken with it, some of the flowers were too big for the lens.

Schoenorchis fragrans



Dryadella clavetella (what Ecuagenera sent as one, doesn't look quite right...)


Restrepia guttulata (flower won't open all the way, but still beautiful!)


Haraella retrocalla


Tolumnia Genting Volcano

Those are wonderful! The Schoenorchis fragrans is beyond beautiful, in fact. I have a couple of Haraella odorata; does retrocalla like to bloom as freely as does odorata?

I don't have H. odorata, but my retrocalla is always in spike. bud and/or bloom. Typically, as one flower begins to fade, another spike is well on its way. It keeps just enough time between flowers to make me miss them and then fall in love all over when it blooms again.

Beautiful pictures, I recently purchased a macro lens for my iPhone as well! Some of these miniatures are impossible to photograph without a macro.

Beautiful flowers!

I kept poking my monitor, trying to touch them.

I don't think I have ever seen a better macro photo of Schoenorchis. The others are good too.

I got mine off Amazon,
Amazon.com: 3 in 1 Phone Lens Kit Supreme Fisheye Lens 12X Macro Lens 24X Super Macro Clip with Two Clips for Iphone SE 7 Plus 6 Plus Apple 5S 5C 4 HTC Sony Sumsung Galaxy Blackberry and Other Phones etc: Cell Phones & Accessories

There were a lot of options for macro lenses, but this one seemed the best for the cost. It's actually a universal lens, I just clip it to the back of my phone. My case is fairly bulky (LifeProof), and the clip just barely fits, but is nice and snug once on and doesn't move around.
