wonderful marraige of these two colours don they do compliment each other. can i put useless info in here ? The name "orchid" comes from the Greek root orkhis, meaning "testicle." sorry see steve its his fault

A great close-up, Don. I agree with Mary about how the black background emphasises the lovely colours of the orchid.

Nice closeup with the 18-55 lens. The black background pops the color right out. Beautiful.
