White blooms are hard to capture well. Maybe next time. I would like to see the mount shot. I always find them interesting. Flowers look really nice!

Cheers,

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box. ...Hmmm? .

I do find white flowers very difficult to capture. I will try again tomorrow to get a full plant shot

Something that helps me is to take a piece of white paper or foam core and put it in front of the object I am going to photograph, I balance the white reflection with it and then I can usually get a good shot of the bloom.

Cheers,

My favorite Aerangis. The flowers are so ethereal.

It's beautiful, Ron. Your plants are always so well grown. About a month ago my first aerangis bloomed. Now the trick will be to keep it alive and growing.
