Macro Flowers Saturday #55



Maia, these photos are for you. I know you love orchids so I wanted to dedicate the first return post to you. These were all taken a few weeks ago at either the Conservatory of Flowers and/or Sloat Gardens. I am so happy Macro Flowers Saturday is back.

Thanks Icy, isn't that color unique? That's why I took that photo. I normally don't see that color.

Now that is a wonderful welcome present. Thank you soooo, so much for this lovely gesture, it really makes me very happy to have such warmhearted friends.

Yes, I love them and these here, the Lady's slipper, the Vanda and the white phal are all gorgeous macros.
Even the hairs on the Lady's slipper petals are visible on the enlarged photo.

It's good to be back!

The orchids are so lovely! We have plenty of them here too, they thrive in our hot climate and bloom all year long.

These orchids are all beautiful! I too love the uniqueness of your first picture - When I look closely it looks like there is a face in the flower. I followed you through the garden from Macro Flower Saturday. Hugs, antonella :-)
