The flower of love! Great photo, Leah. (I am quite a sensitive bloke really, even though I write the thing I do!) :-)

Love the angles at which the flowers cross the leaves, and from which you shot the pic.

David Cranmer said...

Orchids have a beauty all their own.

Leah J. Utas said...

David B., I've long suspected that about you.

Thanks, Messymimi.

David C., yes they do.

They look like something mechanical that Cinderella's fairy godmother did a reverse transform into plants.

They are beautiful and a little threatening all at one. Very nice photo.

Mary Anne, good point.

Hilary, thank you.

Laurita, yes, they are a wee bit unsettling. Thanks.

These white flowers look like a relative of Birds of Paradise.

Leah J. Utas said...

They are, Ron. I have no idea what they are as husband wasn't sure.
