Lady's Slipper Orchid
Paphiopedilum haynaldianum
(paf-ee-oh-PED-ih-lum)
For the last several months this site has been relying on
outtakes and archive materials as it has every winter of its existence. The
folder I have been using is called “To Be Used 2011” and it has gotten so I
don’t even want to look in there again. So a new folder has been started with
2012 replacing the 2011. Today’s Orchids were photographed in California and
were growing outside in kind of a lean-to greenhouse. It was a nice collection
of unusual species. All of these photos were shot with the Nikon D700 and 60mm
nikkor-micro lens.
Since it is Sunday again here is a bonus snap of an unknown
Orchid. The color scheme and design of this flower gave it an almost scary
look.
