      Thank you! It was my first time seeing them too!

      I was unhappy with the light levels (and the heat + humidity that day didn't help either), but there was not much I could do about it! They were quite fragile, so I'm hoping there will be some new blooms up this week for me to
      get better photographs!       Posted 7 years ago

        I love this shot :). I think the lighting adds to the delicateness of the flowers. It's lovely. Posted 7 years ago
