Orchid Macro 2012

In the botanical garden we visited, there was a little area of different types of orchids. I was in macro-takin' heaven!!

I have been waiting for this one to bloom for about 4 years since I bought it at Home Depot. I have carefully labored over my orchids and my bright sunny south facing window in the bathroom is perfect for them. Success! It smells really good too.

Crop of the inside of the white Phal. I can't get over the way they look like they have a little creature inside. Or maybe it's just me & my imagination;-)
