Mmmmm. With a little bit of research these look like they may be Epindendrum hybrids, also known as Poor Man's Orchids, which are Mexican natives and are very easy to grow. Nice study. A gentle spray of light misty water would enhance their appearance even more. Beautiful colours nicely contrasted by the dense green foliage backdrop. Well done.
This looks like a "Poor Man's Orchid" to me...instantly reminds me of my Ma-Ma (grandmother) cause she has these in her garden.
Man do you have talent! Luv ya work AJ...this is a fantastic spot to be when I need to zone out for a bit. Thoroughly enjoy the surprises you bring, keep them coming I say!
Thanks for the heads-up LG and Phoebesmum ... I've never been one for knowing common or more particularly, botanical names for all these pretty things .. I just know I like them, and they don't run away when you photograph them :)
Although the original concept for this photo-blog may have changed somewhat due to Life, Love etc (ad nauseum), I WILL chip away at this thing (where possible) until I have completed the countdown from 365. Who knows, I may have a sudden rush of available time (cough) or overwhelming inspiration and still complete the project within the 12 months, although the realist in me says "you're dreamin' mate" ... Whatever, However and Whenever, fruition SHALL be reached (and I have it on good advice that Fruition is a rather nice place, particularly in Spring) :o)
