Description
I gave my sister this orchid just after Christmas, 2007. Every time I go see her, there it sits in her kitchen window, blooming its crazy head off. She just laughs. I've named it Rasputin, after the mad monk who wouldn't die. Not that this orchid should die---I just want one that blooms at least half as long!!!

Great work!
Great name you've hung on this lovely little orchid. LOL. It really is a beauty.
So she's the orchid whisperer? I've never had one of these. What a beauty!
Love the background, adds to the mystery!
Oh they look like music instruments... How gorgeous Marilyn and you have captured them beautifully!!! :)
an amazing shot Marilyn. Another one of those shots where you turn the world upside down, by capturing the bloom moving straight down, and leaving all that space above it. It's a real twist on the 'bouquet' concept; it's wonderful. Also the hues are fine too...you picked the right angle, because the wall color makes fine music with the flower. it's powerful stuff. (You know, some would say that even if 'your' orchids don't last as long, the fact that an orchid you gave as a gift lasts that long says something about what you 'impart' to it. Just a little mythic dimension I thought you might like!)
A very pretty flower indeed!
Gorgeous Maz!!!
A gorgeous specimen and very well photographed, I might add.
wonderful flower portrait
Beautiful...
And a bloody red ambiance to go along with the title, Maz! Terrific clarity, composition and lighting effects in this awesome presentation.
wonderful red warm hugs, Linda
wonderful!
Stunning orchid capture. Love the color. Dana
LOL! It's certainly lasted a long time! I don't have much luck with these, but she seems to have an orchid-friendly thumb! It's quite beautiful.
Beautiful capture and great effect with red background.Very enigmatic and sensuous!
Rasputin the Orchid! I love it! Luckily this beauty isn't likely to suffer the same fate as that particular...well...almost inhuman monk! Great colors and wonderful detail. I love the warmth of this image!
