Oh yes, Lily Marie Almas is a gorgeous color combo. I've also *almost* bought that Suncoast Sunflares at a couple of shows recently, too. Hmmm, Mother's Day is coming up!

My camera adjusts the color/light settings automatically so I just shoot 3 or 4 shots of each flower - see the diff in these? Last shots of my favorite Phaius, they are starting to drop now but still have wonderful colors:

To my dismay, discovered mealybugs making a meal of one of my Phaius Microburst flower spikes! Never seen a bug on them before.
