Alarmingly rapid as it is, I have drifted from the more mainstream sense of orchid aesthetics down an estuary of plant types that I have a difficult time persuading friends and family are truly flowers and not alien exoskeletals. Apparently, this is not unusual for orchid freaks, so I really should confine my excitement to the appropriate avenues - thusly.....

This is potentially the wildest, coolest orchid to come into my view, never mind possession! The pictures just can't do justice to a raving Brassia Mem. Fritz Boedeker 'Witch Doctor', but I have to share it anyway. I hope by the time I get this posted, the taxonomy hasn't already changed...
