Macro Silky Blue Orchid

Silky Blue Orchid · 07:21 AM

Another very tiny specimen.

I couldn't get the anther (hood) and the column in focus so settled on the column, windy, cloudy, getting my feel for adverse conditions.

That's a beautiful flower and very well taken, the dark background really contrasts well with the blooms colors.

I thought I liked the pink one until I saw this one. I am so glad I don't have to judge these.

Well thought out with the lighting.

Damn, you have nice flowers! All we have around here this time of year are stinky, prickly, sticky nasty ole' weedy things!

Very nice! Agree the dark b/g really brings out the color. How tiny are they?
