Marvelous capture, Shirley!!! Love the contrast of the delicate and bright flowers against the solid dark boulder! L/F

Wow! Beautiful! I thought orchids are tropical flowers and rare in temperate places or where there are four seasons.
Shirley Sirois replied:
Not so, but they are smaller, and it wasn't until later in life that I "found" them. Thanks for commenting, C Belinda.

Unique display of these dainty orchids, Shirley! Don't believe I have seen so many in one area, other than Hawaii, of course. Very pretty presentation and against the large stone behind them, even makes it more dramatic.
Shirley Sirois replied:
Thank you very much, Randy. If one has only seen tame orchids it is incredible to find these in the wild.
Judi Bagwell
Fantastic shot! I can't imagine seeing these guys in the wild. Incredible!
