very pretty, but this is confusing because i call these 'singapore orchids'????

No problem.They might be. The photo was made in Dubai and the name of flowers i did not know.

i dont think that is their proper name, another possibility is 'butterfly orchid' which is quite nice i think.

They're beautiful by any name, n'est pas?... :)

Were you on holiday, Katarina? And if so, did you enjoy?

Thank you, Karen, I was there on the World Heart Federation Congress, still had three days to check Dubai around. First impression was - I travelled in time and arrived to Atlantis. Next impression was my deep respect to what beautiful gardens people can do, surrounded by desert from one side and salty sea from the other. Not just Arabs but from all over the world - architects, specialists in irrigation systems and water resources and ecologosts. The third impression was - absolute calmness in the desert. Absolute peace. Yes, Dubai is for sure a beautiful destination. Although - leaving in a desert storm :)
SL-Thank you very much for the name of the flowers :) I thought they are some sort of orchids, but I have never seen so deep colours.
Thank you Dwyllis :) Nice saying, will rememebr that :)
