Here are some closer shots of the orchid in my recent topic.

The flowers of this species show extreme morphology for a European species but there are many weird and wonderful forms in orchids from warm or hot climates. I see it as a potential subject for art or photography and have posted a number of images, to show some of this potential.

I believe in posting images in the original vertical orientation. However, although very tempted, I have desisted with one image.

These were all daylight shots, EM-1, Kiron 105mm macro, probably all f11 or 16, typically at around 1/100, ISO 400 or 800, hand-held. (Those streamers are a nightmare in any trace of breeze).
