Foto Friday - Wild orchid



In one of my Foto Friday blogs about the Orchid Tree, there was a request to view a close-up of the orchid. The wild orchid is in bloom again so here is a series of photographs of it.

Hi Lee: What a beautiful tree that is. I love the progression of your pics starting with a shot of the tree itself then zooming in gradually to the closeup shot of an orchid.

Great shots of a lovely flower.

It only takes a drop of ink to make a million people think. There are many stories.

Those orchid blossoms appear no bigger than a thumbnail, Lee. They certainly are beautiful.....thanks so much for the post.

Hi Lee. It seems a tiny orchid. Beautiful shots.

Like this because I have only seen orchids in the flower shop.

    Quoting  :

Hi Poet,

I think they bloom in Singapore too but may not be noticed because they are normally found high up a tree. I don't know whether they are parasitic or symbiotic.
