Phalaenopsis orchid
I love google images. It’s the greatest plant identification tool I ever saw. I have reference books, and I love them, but if you do not know the name of a plant, good luck with finding it. With google images, you can just type in a general category and description and start browsing. This orchid may be called Pamina, or it may be Golden Treasure, OR it may be called Baldan’s Kaleidoscope. You choose. Sure is pretty though, isn’t it?
This was taken at a garden club flower show in Kent, Washington just yesterday.
Visit a new meme, Macro Friday, for great close ups. And Macro Flowers Saturday and Today’s Flowers always have lovely posts. SOOC has other straight out of the camers photos. Do click on Sara’s Fave Photos if there is only the one photo showing here.
This is absolutely gorgeous with amazing details. Orchids are so beautifully unique with no two alike. Stunning photography.
that is a stunning orchid and great photo!
What a lovely orchid and an amazing macro you share today.
I love this, though I prefer the pure white, My dad used to grow them.
cute shot, Sara
nice weekend
I don’t know the exact name of an orchid as well. I normally name our orchids and flowers with human names 😉 That one look like Archee’s!
This is one of my favorite orchids. Sure wish I could grow them, but I don’t have a very green thumb. Beautiful macro!
Love that we can see the front and the back of the blossoms!
Your orchids shot is wonderful. Love the color and the pattern of the veins. I also enjoyed the pink roses in the previous shot as well.
Thanks for taking time to visit my MYM and comment on my fire hydrant post. Your comment just adds icing to the cake.
By any name it is still a gorgeous bloom. I really like the composition of your shot.
It certainly is a gorgeous looking orchid. Great photo!
great shot…super like it! i love that bright-shiny effects in the middle! 🙂 have a great day!
