GOY's 5mb limit is hard for me to reach so low and why i can't post more until i renew pixler. For some reason zoom in on a subject lowers the mb and this cloudforest Orchid hardy in the bay area flowers around Christmas time made the limit by zooming.
This is Laelia anceps. They come in a range of various colors and petal shapes. Native to Mexico's highest cloud forests and is hardy to the mid 20's. I hope to never test that!
