Here are a few images I took of my Orchid plant. Taken with Don's 60mm Macro. I love this lens.

Nice macro of the flower spike of what i would guess is a phalaenopsis hybrid of some sort.

This is the kind of orchids they are.

Thanks

Yes a good old Phalaenopsis . If you leave that flower spike on after it drops its flowers in a month or two it will rebud and don't do like they say put ice cubes on them.

Heres a Epidendrum veroscriptum that just bloomed for me.

There were two spikes when we got it. Both of them dried out so I cut them off. I only got one spike this time. Those are nice looking Orchids. I don't have a green thumb, but do like taking pictures of flowers.

Thanks
