Orchid

Not so good a day for blipping. I have tried a few times to photograph this plant. It really keeps on flowering week after week. I've had it for a few years now and think I've found a spot in the house that it likes. I love the beautiful markings. I was lucky enough to travel to Okinawa in Japan a few years ago and saw lots of huge orchid plants in a multitude of colours and shapes so this reminds me of that very happy trip. Unfortunately the clusters of flowers throw shadows on each other so I have given up in the past but persevered today (desperation - no other ideas!) and this was the best shot. I'll keep trying.
