    Default Vanda merrillii

    I am happy when any of my merrilliis are in bloom. The flowers are fragrant with wonderful color, substance, and texture.
    However, getting the right background to highlight those characteristics is a pain. Today I just clicked away, without setting up a lighter backdrop.
    The second photo is a bit overexposed with the ring flash.

    They remind me of chocolate - very edible looking. I think I might need some more breakfast...

    Oh-that is nice! Thanks for sharing, I can't grow these either, so I get the joy of living vicariously with your photos!
