My wife was given an orchid quite some time ago as a gift. At the time it was in flower and after the flowers died off we waited patiently for it to flower again. After what seemed like forever but was probably only about a year it finally bloomed again a few days ago. I chose to focus only on the labellum for this image. I have just downloaded the new Nik 7 so I played around a little in that for the final result.

Gorgeous colours and great close-up. We have a lot of orchids of varying types in the garden, some seem to be flowering for months while others have a shorter season - we do have an orchid or two flowering somewhere in the garden all year.
