Beautiful shot of an orchid, Clifton!
Not 100% sure about the type but think it's Phalaenopsis. #11674

Thanks very much for the info Carol! Now I need to grow them at home to photograph them at leisure :) #19461

Clifton, I checked for some info about growing them for you.lol

Need very bright but indirect light or 2 to 3 hours of morning sun (about the same amount of light needed to bloom an African Violet). Don't allow Phalaenopsis to dry out completely, but water thoroughly every 4 to 7 days if potted in a bark medium. If potted in Spagnum or a Peat Moss based mix, less frequent watering is required. Preferred humidity is 50% to 80%. Preferred temperatures are 70 degrees F daytime and 62 to 70 degrees F nights. A drop in night temperature of 20 to 30 degrees (but no lower than 45 degrees F) will aid in bud formation.

Hope this helps.:-)

That helps a lot! lol..so it's a 'special' flower, no wonder I haven't seen them growing much in the North of Scotland :)
It's got me interested, I'll learn about growning plants inside, it's such an amazing flower! If you have any links to web sites that could help, please send them through my web site. Thanks again for the help :) #19471
