The Illinois Orchid growers show was last weekend at the Chicago Botanic Garden and I've recently been able to visit an orchid greenhouse several times so I thought a few orchid images may be in order. Since today is FF I'm starting with this showy butterfly orchid I'm calling "Drama Queen". No flash used - only greenhouse lighting for this one. All comments and critiques appreciated.
