Nice! What's almost as fun as getting mislabeled plants is having so many clustered together that you end up missing the orchids bloom and find it with a dessicated flower stalk after the fact. Had that happen a few times. LOL

The upped photo is from my canon sx10 is camera , and the thumbnails, are from my partners ,Sony cyber shot camera.
its good to have the canon out of the tripod after two weeks .

Final shot I think its downhill from here, though these flowers can last for several (6 to 8) weeks sometimes, if conditions are right .
