You who know me, know my love for orchids. In flower now is Bratonia Toscane –
a delicate dancer in my room.
As I am testing my new camera, I took a series of shots from different angles and in different light. The first two against the TV, then moved to the window for the other two.
I even tried Nik on this last one. Which one do you prefer?

My favourites are the featured one and the last one. That black background certainly brings it out.
Thank you! A very special orchid anyway.
I like the first one best. Lovely!!

Thank you! I love looking at them – put them close to me all day.
Look to be dancing in the air, so delicate
Yes, very delicate. Dancers they are.
Ah, I remember seeing this variety at Wisley…love it! That last image has a hint of the other-worldly, A C!
Other-worldly, yes, maybe. I think they are very interesting, those spidery orchids.
Oh, I think they’re great!
The last photo gives me a sense of the purpleness of it, and the others came across to me as more yellow. It is a strange graceful plant.
Thank you for your thoughts – strange it is. And as you say, graceful.
These are cool orchids. 😀
I am glad you find them cool – I love their spidery ballet look!
