The windowbox they are in is tile lined and receives almost no light...and it is "winter" here.

Identified as Masd. 'Prince Charming' (Bronze/gold).

As for the pictures...I use the macro setting on my 4 year old Minolta point and shoot; it's been a great little camera!

thanks! 100% epipactis helleborine.

It may be an invasive weed but it is still the first orchid I've spotted growing in the wild (truth be told it was in an unkempt "weedy" are of a parking lot). Thanks for the ID.
