Orchids are beautiful Am not into flora but this Orchid I came across was so beautiful that I had to give it a shot.!!<br />
Purposely posted a collage to help you see it closely :-)<br />
id: Malaxis versicolor<br />
Its a ground Orchid. Colour variation is from Yellow, Orange to Purplish blue. <br />
I shot this during my over night herping expedition in Matheran forest.<br />

Threat these orchids are facing is: Trade and personal gardens.
