| I had such a hard time shooting this orchid! It grows in one of the indoor habitats at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. It was freezing outside and at least 80°F in there, and it was all I could do to keep my glasses and my camera lens unfogged. Can't tell you what kind of orchid this is, but it's about the size of a wine glass. [To see more Mellow Yellows, go here. To see more macro shots, visit Lisa's Chaos.] |

Very pretty! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like Solandra longiflora. Appropriately, considering your description, it is also called chalice vine. It is said to have quite a “bouquet.”
