A wild, and rare, Zygopetalum maxillare orchid I found on the Atlantic Rainforest of SE Brazil. It's always a joy to find big orchids in flower in the wild.

What a wonderful orchid - nice capture - and I agree - finding them in the wild is a wonderful experience.

Hi

Excellent shot - love the muted surrounds that really adds an environmental feel without hindering the view of the subject - well done imo

Merry Christmas to you
Matthew
