    i went to the nybg yesterday for the annual orchid show, designed this year by jeff Leatham, a worldwide known and recognized master of floral/conservatory displays. although a smaller show this year, because the great dome of the conservatory is under reconstruction, it still had quite a few nice orchids i will post up a handful here, but not as many just yet, i have decided i need to make a return trip if possible, as i shot at f2.8 with my 90mm macro, this lens is razor sharp, but my depth of field was too shallow, something not really evident until i came home and downloaded to the big screen. the show runs until april 19 so i should be able to work in a return trip

    love variegated patterns in flowers, roses are my favorites, but these orchids are pretty

    reminds me of some of those weird candy or sorbet mixes
