Default Pink Flamingos

Yup, I have a pair, and am proud of it! Since they are now extinct in the wild, (the last company to make them stopped last year), I feel it my duty to preserve these national treasures any way I can. As you can see, I have provided them with the environment they so richly deserve, while showing them off to their best advantage.

Looks like you have a mating pair there ..
How rare and elusive they are ...
and I always wanted to see them in the wild ..
I have spotted them on manicured lawns
Thanks for sharing ..

Ramon - Kim's photo is of Phoenicopterus ruber var. plastik ..
I believe yours is the typical species ...

I am soooo happy they are done! I really hate those things! They represent all things tacky (to me.)

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)
