Thought I would share a photography insight that I'm sure the experts here figured out a long time ago.

Took the first 2 pictures in bright light but with no flash and the last pic same site with flash. Only by using flash can you get the camera to "see" the true color with is the purple. And even that is really not quite as vivid as in real life but the real flower is definitely NOT pink. This was with an iPhone camera.

Anyway, Guarianthe/Cattleya (choose your genus) bowringiana. An old favorite!
