Phalaenopsis orchid.

Starting to bloom. Two branches fully in bud and last year the flowering lasted three months.

Beautiful shot. How did you do this? Did you have it in a pot inside? Or did you set up a background somehow?

Thanks Kathie, no special treatment. The background is the color of the sun-room wall behind the plant which sits in a pot on a cupboard.
I was able to use available light which negated the shadows and a longer lens (55 - 210) to minimize the depth of field.

I'll put up a wider shot to show how ordinary the position is.

Well done with something pretty ordinary Greg. Certainly made that more interesting.

Bit of thought made all the difference.

Beautifully done Greg.
