Pleione Orchid Throat Detail

As requested by Phil.

The original flower was turning a bit brown around the intricate parts so I chose another (un-named one) which is essentially the same.

A bit rushed, with rain imminent and now falling.

Olympus EM-1, (aperture priority), Olympus 4/3 50mm f2 macro, 1/25 sec at f13, hand-held.

The stereo is crosseye.

Thanks, Phil.

They are easy to grow but most of mine disappeared from the greenhouse last year, the bulbs probably eaten by mice.
