Couple of repeats here, and new buds on my Thunderstorm orchid - Den crumenatum - which I've got to say is the bloomingest little thing! We did have a great storm a week ago, and it usually doesn't take quite this long to put out buds. There must be 100 or so, ready to pop tomorrow. I was trying out my wide-angle lens on my cell phone so excuse the slightly weird pictures here.

Maybe Yellow Bird got in the way of the camera, what a coincidence! Color is softening to orange already.

Here's my new Appleblossom with its second spike opening a nicely colored flower, through the fisheye lens, then with the wide-angle. (I think the fisheye is not for taking flower pictures . . )
