An Ode to Life Itself If only it would be this simple<br />
It&#039;d shed a light in many a darkness.<br />

So an Ode to Life Itself. And me in an Artistic Mood:)<br />
This one&#039;s a personal one, as having a lovely child is not a right, nor a fact or matter of statistics; sometimes nature is hard in that aspect. If you are lucky enough it is a present of the dearest kind. Cherish it, always.  Canon  EF12mm II,Cooktown Orchid,Geotagged,The Netherlands,macro,orchid,soligor 12mm Click/tap to enlarge Promoted

  1. And yes, this one is all natural, no composition of shots whatsoever. The shapes of the flower give it a sort of enhanced fragility. Posted 11 years ago, modified 11 years ago
  2. Ahum, I do think it is a Phalaenopsis orchid family, but I cannot find the species exactly. Anyone, WildFlower?
    So many species undocumented in Wiki:)

    1. Sorry, Ludo, there are too many species and hybrids of them, not to mention that this is not the best shot for an ID... Posted 11 years ago
  3. Hi WF, yes, yo are right of course. It is a flower just like this one (except its colour, which is purple in my case, yet looks exactly the same in sctructure):

    It is growing from the ground up, on long stems. It now has 4 leaves, thick, long, and green.

    1. There's a collection of Phalaenopsis species and primary hybrids, but I couldn't find a good match. There are many other hybrids between more than 2 species or between different genera...
