Just superb, Peter!

It’s an unraveling suprise: first is it an insect?

No it’s a flower, but what’s its position, how is it floating like that and at last we see the thin curved supporting green stem!

I would love to see this in UV to understand a little how the insects might see it!

I see it’s an orchid from Western South America!

Thank you Mother Nature and you Peter too. We are richer for it!
