Not sure I've got the subspecies correct

Turned on the pop-up flash to freeze these orchids as a breeze was making them sway. The flash helped to bring out some of the detail in the petals as well.

This must be the season for orchids.

An orchid offers a showy cascade of pink blooms.

When I originally uploaded this photo I didn't really know what I was doing editing RAW files, I've finally got round to giving it a proper edit.

I don't know the variety of Orchids in the shot, anyone knows can they let me know and I'll change the name/tags, thanks!

Jill and I went to Chico on the one year marker of Rachel's death, February 21, 2009. We went to Chico BloodSource so that I could donate blood in honor of Rachel who helped organize and run several blood drives during high school.Rachel received a scholarship from BloodSource, that, unfortunately, she was never able to use. Several weeks after I donated, this orchid plant arrived at our doorstep. It was sent by Mitzy Edgecome on behalf of BloodSource, in appreciation of my donation on what she knew was a very difficult day for our family. I don't know how she found out what we had done, but God bless her for reaching out to us with this beautiful gift.

I put out all our orchids in the sunroom as soon it was warm out there enough for them - now they start to bloom again ;)

Taken hand held using two Nikon r200's on the ring at the end of the lens, using f32 - 1/250 & ISO 100, this flash is so easy to use and I am loving the results I am getting.

All orchids of this family like to put it about a bit. I mean they mill impregnate each other and produce various hybrids. And that in each species of orchid, there is a great variation in shape, colour, size and patternation, then trying to tell these apart from each other, then the hybrids. It is a tough job, and I'm a nebie at this anyways.

So, where I feel sure one of the orchids from this site is almost certainly a Southern Marsh, Early Marsh or Common Spotted, they will be labelled as such, but ones I am not sure of will be titled as Kentish Marsh Orchids.

Hope that is clear.

Anyone offering a better ID, please add or comment or FM me.

Thanks

Chiang Mai Orchids, blooming beautiful!

Xcaret Eco Park on the Riviera Maya in Mexico.

The Orchid House at Xcaret seems to have been made smaller than it used to be. It also contains flowering Bromeliads as well as Orchids. And a cat, who was intently stalking a lizard on the wrong side of the glass!

Next to the Orchid House is a laboratory where new young plants are bred in vitro. The public are not allowed in there, as it must stay sterile.
