Brassia

You may remember a post of spider orchids that I did here. These are photographs of those same orchid blossoms which have obviously been aging awhile. The light was changing and shifting with the clouds as I was photographing these so the colour tones shifted also. They make me think of little dancers or insects. I had a hard time choosing which images to share and also I’ve been “dissecting” the little moth orchids so you may be subjected to another orchid post in the near future. Bear with me…

Spidery September Orchids

Doesn't this kind of look like a spider getting ready to snatch up it's prey?


This lovely spider orchid is in bloom at our house right now. I love these exotic flowers with their elegant long petals and multiple blooms.
