Today’s Flower – Half a Dozen OrchidsFor more flower pictures from around the world check out:
Today’s Flowers . It starts at 18:00 GMT on Sunday.
Wilsonara Tiger Brew ‘Pacific Holiday’
Parentage: Oda. Memoria Rudolf Pabst x Odcdm. Tiger Hambuhr
This Orchid had incredibly vivid colors. The shape of the flower was pleasant too. This picture came out as more of an abstract of the flower but at least you get to the color.
Beallara Marfitch ‘Howard’s Dream’
Parentage: Miltassia Charles M. Fitch x Odontioda Fremar
Pretty big flowers in a really good spray. The colors are a bit muted but it was still charming.
Burrageara Stefan Isler 'Dos Pinhos'Vuylstekeara Edna x Oncidium leucochilum
Very nice shade of orangey-red. Easy to grow.
Pretty sure this is Colmanara Wildcat 'Green Valley'
Dendrobium x delicatumQuite a strange spike of flowers. Most of the flowers were only partially open and that is maybe why it looked odd. This Orchid was once it’s own species but now is considered to be a wild hybrid. It lives on cliffs and rocks and occasionally trees. Native to Australia it grows up to altitudes of 3,000 feet.

These flowers are so unusual, and gorgeous! I love all the amazing color combinations.
Orchids are not easy to photograph. I like the last one like a baby stretching its arms up to be picked up.
These are beautiful!
