Cooool! I've not seen the reticulated form before. Great find.

Cheers.

Thanks, Jim. It's far more common here in the west than in the east.

Ron:
This is a new one to me also - way cool! Have you considered making your own orchid photo encyclopedia - the pics you take are so detailed and you seem to be able to find some really odd orchids. I would browse through such if it were available!
Again great photos,
Steve

Very cool! Fabulous photos ( as always!) ;)

Steve, have you seen my native orchid blog? The link is on all my posts.

Rosie, the leaves on this are IMO more attractive than the flowers.

Ron I am sorry to say I have not - but I will! I usually get so wrapped up in the thread that I forget that there might be some goodies in the links provided!
Thanks for the Heads Up - can't wait to check it out.

Wow - just took a quick gander and I was right - I will have to spend a lot of time there!
Again, Thanks for all you share!
Steve

Thanks for looking, Steve.
