I've always liked green cymbidiums - my maid of honor carried a green cymbidium bouquet - these were unusual because of the deep burgandy-brown throat and the sun was dappling them so nicely through the skylight. I decided to put them up today for St. Patrick's Day tomorrow. (My maiden name is Kathleen Kelly - a little Irish don't you know!) All comments appreciated.

Kathy - Beautiful orchids (again)! Happy St. Patrick's Day - for many of us we're Irish one day a year, you get to be all year through! Thad

Kathy, I'd say your maiden name was more than 'a little' Irish - closer to 100%.
I love the way the light is shining through the petals, it really emphasises the textures of these gorgeous flowers.
Have a great St. Patrick's Day - but go easy on the Guinness!!!

I'm a little late for St. Patty's Day, but I do hope you had a good one, Kathy! Beautiful closeup of the Cymbidiums... I don't think I have ever hear of them, but, they look quite similar to orchids. I also like the dappled lighting, and all the green! Excellent work! :)
