Nice group of orchids. The richness of the colors on the petals is great. And you cannot see the stems. Did you photoshop them out or are they just hidden behind the petals?

Thanks for the comment, much appreciated. There was a small piece of stem below the bottom flower Which I removed in PS but all of the rest is behind the flowers.

Roger, it seems you must be congratulated twice. Once for growing these beautiful flowers, second for such a beautiful photo.

Thanks all for the great comments....really appreciate them.

Stan, they are really easy to grow and I was surprised to be honest. The flowers last for such a long time although on this one, there are signs now that they are beginning to go. There is discolouration on the front of the petals you can't see but a little trimming and then it will be set for the next batch.

I'm trying another variety right now and if they turn out ok will post some pictures.

Thanks again

Rog
