This one is prettier than the picture indicates. I have a new Nikon CoolPix and the macro feature on it stinks. I'm glad I kept the old Kodak.

Here is a pic I took today with the Kodak. Better color and not as fuzzy.

It is very pretty I love these types of Paphs. You are right though, the Kodak shot is better.

I will remember the Nikon CoolPix does not have a good Macro when I'm looking for a new camera this year. I've been really pleased with my Cannon compact camera which has a very good 'digital' macro but the flash on it has stopped working and the newer version does not have the same features :(

Beautiful-I love the spots on both the dorsal and the petals :bowing.

Thanks! This is my first complex "bulldog" Paph., and it's first time reblooming for me. Now that I know they'll do OK here I think a few more will be added to the collection. :)

Congrats on the reblooming Terri. And what a beauty it is. I'll have to be on the look-out for this one. Love all the colours and spots!

:D

I think that depends on the camera... my previous Nikon Coolpix 5700 (quite old!) had an excellent macro... now I work with SLR and even though the macro lens is great, I still miss the macro features of my old Nikon...

Cool bloom!! Love the shape and colors! Very, very nice!
The Kodak pic looks much better!
