    Very nice dendrobes (at least I hope the first picture is a dendrobium). I'm surprised at how good the pictures are, seeing that they are taken with a mobile phone.

    I am not really a mobile phone person ( like most of my generation) - I have them, but only switch on occasionally. But I had a chat with a young man at a family party over Christmas, who works for the Blackberry maker, and he was talking about smart-phones with 5Mb size pics - which is getting to be serious photography ; my personal web-site a dozen years ago had several hundred orchid pics taken with my first digital camera where the pic size was a "whopping" 1/3 Mb - or 300kb. Electronics are moving so fast, its time to go back to the greenhouse where things move at a pace which is a bit more restful !

    They are all beautiful, though I must admit that photo #4 of the Dendrobium is very much a favorite. Your photographs are quite good. You do better with a mobile phone than I do with a good camera! Happy Holidays! AL

    You've got three really beautiful varieties of dendros, and a nice Cattleya. They are all very different and would add interest to any collection I reckon.
    Would you have a name tag for the Cattleya, that 'coerulea' is almost a true blue.
    Well done!
