The Orchid House, Cambridge Botanic Gardens

In an effort to salvage something positive from what was a rather depressing weekend, I took my 100mm macro lens to the new(ish) Orchid House in the Cambridge Botanic Gardens on Sunday afternoon.

These are such beautiful shots! (And orchids are my favourite flowers, so double delight!)

Thank you. I just recently learned that the Orchidaceae family includes vanilla. Mmm. More reason to love orchids!

These are absolutely beautiful.

Thank you! It's been a while since I used my macro lens. I forgot how soothing it is, going slowly around a subject, inspecting it very closely for the best angle.

Gorgeous. Particularly love the first.

Thank you. Yes, I thought that was the best one, too. The depth of field came out just right and the backlighting of the bloom was perfect.
