That looks like an orchid of the genus Phalaenopsis. It's a popular houseplant because it is easy to maintain, will blossom reliably (some orchids are extremely fussy and unpredictable bloomers) and also there are a variety of colors. GOOGLE the generic name if interested.

I spy a cave

**noelcmn** · 03-21-2019, 12:03 AM

Cave it is- Wonder Caves, a few kilometers west of Johannesburg, and the 3rd largest set of caves in SA.

Correct. I spent some time taking pictures of it. The cage wires were a problem and show in the foreground of some images.

I spy cave formations

I spy stalactites and flowstrone. Mammoth Cave KT is not noted for cave formations, it's famous for the extent of passages which have not all been followed to dead ends.

I think you're an excellent photographer and, from what I have surmised, a good sense of humor on you as well....besides anyone who is self-deprecating is A-1 in my book (who also shoots with a K-1 as a bonus--)

You're a poet aren't you Merv.

A-1 with a K-1 ;-)

Jeepers creepers!

If I press the button enough, something will go into the memory card worth posting. As for a sense of humor, to quote Mr Bennett:
“For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbors, and laugh at them in our turn?”

Carlsbad (been there) and Luray Caverns (been there a LONG time ago) are definitely the places to see cave formations.

Never been to Carlsbad. The only cave I've ever really explored was Crystal Cave in PA--not a big fan of dark places (bats, other fauna) but that is a beautiful photo---
