Pretty picture: Robiquetia cerina

The flowers are still not the most interesting, but this is probably the best and most detailed photo I've managed to get so far. So that's something.

Pretty picture: Robiquetia cerina

Second post about this particular species of orchid (the first is here). It's not photographing any better or getting any more interesting, though in this year's picture you can see more of the plant, so I guess that's something.

Also, unless there's been some huge change since Sunday morning, it looks like Stromanthe sanguinea is the next profile subject. (I suspect someone voted repeatedly, because all six plants were very close for the first day and a half of the poll, and then all of a sudden Stromanthe has three times the number of votes the rest of them have? Either someone was cheating, or the post got linked from the International Stromanthe-Lovers' Facebook page. And there's probably not an International Stromanthe-Lovers' Facebook page.)

The tag said Robiquetia cerinEa; it's actually Robiquetia cerina. Let's see the running total up on the board!

wrong tags: 5
incomplete tags: 1
missing tags: 2

I was initially puzzled as to why someone would bring an orchid whose flowers weren't even really open yet to the orchid show, but all the photos that come up with Google look more or less like this. A few of them have flowers that are slightly open, but not far enough for any real detail to be visible.

And apparently this is interesting? To some people?
