Also, it is to test the lens of a new camera of a Panasonic DMC-SZ7...so far not very impressive even though it has a LEICA lens. Oh well...back to the drawing board I guess.
Anyways, the white flower is a Aerangis Luteo Alba var Rhodosticta. It is one of my new favorites. I got this from the Orchids in the Park show from Golden Gate Orchids run by Tom Perlite. The plant is growing in a half an inch pot sitting in a one inch pot. The spike is about three of or four inches long coming out of a plant with a leaf span of 1 1/2 inch. It is so cute!
The orchid originally had 12 flowers growing on it, but because of the change in environment and a week-long heat wave....it lost four buds to bud blast. :( I almost wanted to cry. But the rest of the flowers were able to bloom and give me this wonderful display.
