Hi Howard

This orchid belongs to the Phalaenopses species - the flowers actually 
Droop down in its natural surroundings - but the cultivated specimens are
artificially propped up like the one you shot

A variation of this comes with a yellow centre and named Queen Sirikit - in
Honor of the current Queen of Thailand

Nice shot and thanks for sharing

Hi Luggers,
As well as visiting the bird park we walked through the flower market  
and I shot this white orchid, hand held, at minimum focus distance,
with the old 90 Cron on the D700.
Enjoy and please view large:
