    **** flowers / Plants Photographs ****

    Well I was trying to get a few decent shot's for the garden time thread and well I got a couple I was quite impressed with one being a rather fine shot of a water iris.

    I just went through my Costa Rica photo album yesterday to find pictures for the wildlife thread, so I just rediscovered these photos, too. All from Costa Rica. The orchid photos are a combination of an orchid "museum" and wild orchids.





    One of the smallest orchids in the world (as seen through a magnifying glass).

















    I believe this one is called a hummingbird orchid.





    And these I believe are angel orchids.







    Costa Rica has some amazing plant life. Even the coffee beans are pretty.

    love orchids and can spot a few I can recognise there was a spider orchid for a start and a few tropical orchid but that is more of a nickname think it was a Orchid Cattleyas as breed yes have seen the ones in asda and the like but I don't have a place to properly grow them but I do always stop and look when I seem them

    so what is your favour breed of orchid guys and girls

    Easy. Anything someone else grows. We have tried keeping a few orchids at home but they tend to die quickly. We would be better off with a framed picture. Miraculously, we currently have a tiny one that my wife received as a birthday present that is still alive. Her birthday was on May 22nd, so that probably sets a record for the longest time an orchid has survived in our house.

    yeah very hard to grow you need just the right conditions . as I have said seen then in asda and Tesco and the like but have been tempted but at £15 for a pair it did not seem worth it as I tried once lasted about a month and a half
