This year we were very fortunate to finally find a solitary specimen of this rare lady slipper variant, where the sepals and petals are a string bright yellow, rather than the usual rich amber colour.

Composite image merged from 8K video file.

Nikon Z9 & Irix 150mm macro.

Thanks for stopping by, have a great WE.

As impressive is the effort finding it, is also your knowledge. Fine shot Sinuhe.

Thank you Axel - I would have preferred a somewhat less direct view...but the slope on which this orchid was...was so steep...that I was glad to secure this shot - without any serious mishap.
