texasrancher Posted February 25, 2011 Share #8 Â Posted February 25, 2011 Tuner - Beautiful shot of what I believe is Brassovala nodosa, an orchid species native to Mexico & Central America. It is often known as "Lady of the Night" because of its sweet fragrance that becomes more powerful at dusk & early evening in order to attract the moths that pollinate it in its native habitat. I am guessing that you obtained the black background by using a single flash, small aperture on the lens & a vacant space behind the plant so that the light falloff was rendered black. This particular orchid can grow into quite large specimens given sufficient time. Thanks for sharing your photograph. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
