A lovely capture Vern. A slightly different colour to what we get here.

Is that the official Latin name for it?

This is great. The background lines really offset the lines of the subject. And great colors too!

Vern - this is an excellent shot, lovely lighting and good background, but I have never seen the Knifophia with the blue tips - I have pictures of red, yellow and orange types - is this a US variety?

Really nice capture Vern. I love the subtile color & light shift from top to bottom.

An unusual looking plant.
