Many thanks for that Richard, they are all lovely.  Appreciate the introduction to the habitat, the general feel of the place, nice.

I particularly like #12 because it provides front left, front right and back views of the scented cap orchid.

This is my best effort with Disa. D200 and Micro Nikkor 55mm f/2.8, taken through glass, in a hurry... at a botanic garden of course.

Disa is a commemorative plant name, commemorating Disa, who was commanded to present herself before the mythological gods, neither clothed nor naked, therefore she draped herself with a fishing net.  The orchid has a mesh-like pattern in the flower.
