A Gecko on my Aerides
I was out talking to the mailman on the porch and noticed one of my Vanda types had a gecko busily checking out the flower buds. At first I couldn't see what it was doing and when I tried to get close I spooked it. Finally, I got my camera and doing my best 'statue' imitation got a few shots of it licking the orchid honey off the buds. As the books say, Gecko's are a orchids best friend, but obviously there is something in it for the geckos. I can't blame them as I like the taste of the stuff myself.
