Your orchids and photos are simply fabulous.

Thank you Greencurls.I love my orchid collection and I love photographing them.

Your love of both shows.how long have you been growing?

Beautiful Pink Lady!

Lets see,I'd say about 20 years or so.The most I had was around 120 plants but now just around 30 or so.Not getting tired,just more manageable.

How do you take such beautiful pics Charles? I know you have a good eye but does the camera make a difference? I take my pics from my tablet and they look washed out most of the times.

Thanks allymarie for the nice comment.
I have a Nikon D5200.I shoot 99% of the orchids in my bedroom,because the wall is a medium grey. I use a light stand with a 250 watt photo bulb and an umbrella to direct the light where I want it.
I'll take a photo of my set up so you can see.

Another non floofy "Cattleya" with lovely crisp shape. A very old hybrid but still good.
Correct grex name is Bowrialbida.
Great Photograph!
