Minute orchid - at least in our area - making it difficult to spot in the long grass. Loved the red colours of the fresh bloom.

Really enjoying your orchids! What a lovely shot of this little beauty and I love the combination of the soft green and the gorgeous deep red.

Thanks Carol!

It was the deep red which caught our eye - difficult to spot in the high grass.

Takke care, S

Pretty deep reds and a fine simple composition.

Hi

Very nice - you have captured and show good detail in that dark and often difficult to portray bloom, great stuff

All the best
