Mahalo, Carolyn, Colette, Ron, Robin, Jan, Murry, Patricia, Debra, Donna, Susan, and Casey for stopping by and adding your wonderful comments and encouragement. This particular Honohono orchid grows from the stem upward instead of hanging downward... kinda weird, and it has a glorious scent. It was a very nice way to spend a half hour or so shooting them!
Much Aloha to all,
Stan #450135

Carol Brill March 27, 2004

Never heard of a bearded orchid, Stan, must be a new species! Wonderful composition, I like how you used the negative space to balance and provide contrast for this delicately captured flower! #450144

Mary K. Robison March 28, 2004

Stan, your title's too funny!! It actually looks like a grouchy mouth surrounding the "fuzz"! The flower is lovely, and, as always, displayed beautifully. #450261

Stanley J. Contrades March 28, 2004

I never knew these were "bearded" either until I put them under the camera's view :-), Carol. Thanks for the kind response.
Come to think of it it does look kind of grouchy, but it makes up for its looks with that gorgeous scent. Thank you, Mary!
Aloha,
Stan #450264

Stanley J. Contrades April 02, 2004

Thanks, Bill, and am sure you have lots where you're at that I can be just as envious! These Honohono orchids are coming into blooms and we have five plants just outside the kitchen door that are beginning to blossom. The dining and living room will be kept in a wonderful scent from these blossoms.
Much Aloha,

Pu Chen April 13, 2004

Beautiful composition. What a interesting looking orchid! Should start to look at orchid more closely, so that I could find some unique "beard" look someday :) They surely look very different in that group shot. Good eyes to find them, Stanley! Congratulations! #480956

Fantastic shot (as usual) I know so little or nothing about orchids, unfortunately, but I love them.

Is it too late to say congratulations?
