Thanks for the comments. I can't wait to photograph more of these and the other varieties this weekend. They are a part of the Gemstone Collection of orchids being distributed by Westerlay Orchids in Carpinteria, California. #10353165Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
