I've seen quite a few slipper orchids this winter at the various places I visit. This, IMHO, was the most lusciously colored one - it practically screamed "take my picture"!

It not only was screaming for you to take a picture, but it was ready with a great big smile for you. I see two eyes and a nose, also, with this view, Kathy. The color is absolutely gorgeous, for sure. Excellent capture.

The fresh wet look and this particular colour combination make this image a rare beauty, dear Kathy.
*never thought that pink & Boris kind of orange make such great combination*

Kathy, this orchid is overwhelming me, not because of its size but because of its beauty!

I could tell it was screaming but I couldn't understand what it was saying, Kathy. Thanks for the translation.
Tis a beautiful flower for sure.
