I'm a Photographer and not a Botanist

I'm a photographer and not a botanist!

I love shapes, the colors and the light in this beautiful flower, but I don't know the name for it.

I'm sure, out there in this world of bloggers is one, or more experts who can tell me the correct name for this colorful plant, yes? I'm looking forward for your answers and comments. Thank you in advance.

Charleston's Flowers

These pictures were photographed one week ago in Cypress Gardens and in Down Town and I hope they are not gone by this cold weather we have just now here in Charleston.

It's way to cold for the blooming nature and way more too cold for us - me and David - sun spoiled kids from Key West, as we are! We are still not used to this very cool temperatures up here in the "North". :-))

A colorful Contrast

We have strong and cool north winds just now over the island, long jeans and warmer shirts and even warm jackets in the evening is what we are wearing now in paradise - and we are so not used too. :-))

I made these photos from my again and again blooming orchid outside in the yard. I think it makes a nice and colorful contrast to the COLD days that we have since yesterday.

I got this plant from my daughter Jeannine in 2005 as a good bye gift on her last day vacation here before she had to fly back to Switzerland. Since then the plant is enjoying me with sweet memories with my daughter - I miss her so much...

Most Beautiful Orchid

And this is my absolute preferred and favorite Orchid. Isn't she a beauty?

I'm not good in orchid names - I just love them all.

For me is the orchid the beauty queen of all the flowers.
