Our area of Costa Rica along the Northwest Pacific coast has a dry season for half the year, so orchids do not grow wild. The central valley around San Jose has several botanical gardens that make it very easy to see specimen orchids such as this.
We have new photos of Gibraltar on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site this week.
What a beautiful color! Haven't seen one like this one in any of the greenhouses or stores around here. Guess a trip to Costa Rica is necessary to see a beauty like this one.
ReplyDeleteGosh its beautiful Dave..you can't get much more vibrant than this, love the little touch of hot pink in the centre.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful orchid! Thanks for the birthday wishes.
ReplyDeleteOrchids are such beautiful flowers. I don't think I have ever seen one this color.
ReplyDeleteVibrant color!
ReplyDeleteThis orchid is lovely. I went into an orchid house at Keukenhof and was simply amazed at how many different colors and color combinations orchids come in.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I only looked at senior members. That is why I didn't find the pitcher.
I haven't seen an orange orchid yet. It's glorious!
