Photo Hunt Challenge - Fresh










This weeks photo hunt challenge is Fresh.



Cattleya Orchids when they open like these beauties,  put out an amazing bloom.  Their frilly shapes, vivid colors, and large flowers give such dramatic appeal and demand instant recognition. What you may not know is that some of these also have an intoxicating smell that in the morning can really make an impact right when you walk into the room.

Just to see one like this in its glory is breathtaking!

  9. Noel, Your photograph is absolutely beautiful. Perfect for this weeks theme. I used to visit the big Island once a year, when I was married. I miss it very much. I am going to follow your blog, to be a "little closer to Hawaii" Mahalo for visiting my blog and have a happy week end.
