Purple Dendrobium Orchids:- Dendrobium is a huge genus of orchids. It was established by Olof Swartz in 1799 and today contains about 1,200 species. The genus occurs in diverse habitats throughout much of south, east and southeast Asia, including the Philippines, Borneo, Australia, New Guinea, Vietnam, Solomon Islands and New Zealand. The name is from the Greek dendron ("tree") and bios ("life"); it means "one who lives on trees", or, essentially, "epiphyte".

A good nature's shot. I love the 'face' impression in the centre of the flower. Nature's own design. Superb.

A beautiful photo and beautiful 'portrait'. I see the face and she reminds me of a fairy. Superb.
