Flower no 1

My orchid did me the honour of growing a flowering stem with eight buds this winter. First one finally opened today.

Macro photograph of the centre of a white orchid flower, with yellow coloration at the base of the petals and on reproductive parts, and red dots and lines around them.

The intricacies of an orchid flower make it quite difficult for macro photography, as nothing is really flat and you need to be very accurate on the exact spot you want in focus.

Macro photograph of a white orchid flower, showing the labellum (a modified petal) from under, with its two curved yellow "antennas" on each side. Blurred behind the rest of the flower can be seen, with some red in the centre.
