p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · A Squatter in an Orchid Pot


I had a Calanthe orchid which I photographed and uploaded some images:

https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1360685

Someone said that the images indicated that the plant had a virus. Well, it did die and there has been no sign of life in the pot until recently. I was all the more surprised to see vigorous growth of very lily-like foliage. The single stem grew taller and taller and then produced flower buds.

I photographed the first flower to open and then three together, the first one a bit past its best. I used 1/50 second at f11 and was a little surprised that the gusty wind in the second session did not cause motion blur. I had to wait for the stem to pause it movement and remain vertical briefly, especially for (crosseye) stereo pairs.

I have no idea how this plant came to be in the pot. Anyway, it is most welcome and the perfume is glorious.

Olympus EM-1, Olympus 4/3 50mm f2 macro, daylight, hand-held.
