cartoon

Am I going mad or does this Paphiopedilum orchid look a bit like a cartoon character? It looks like it comes from Disney’s Flowers and Trees film..

i expect it to start talking in a deep, bass voice! I think it would be very very bossy as well! it is a wonderful flower portrait.

  Thanks so much Janet! The leaves remind me of a big mustache 🙂 and yes, it does look a bit bossy! 😉

Well actually I think this is just spectacular! Gorgeous white bubble, surrounded by it’s knights of long green arms and lest we forget all the little solders-hairs protecting and shielding the lovely one. This photograph is awesome.

  Thanks so much, dear Mary!! I’m glad I’m not the only one seeing a “person” in this orchid! 🙂 Btw- Just as you suspected, this was in my spam (together with “test” comment below). Both marked as non-spam, so hopefully this won’t happen again!

    Thank you for letting me know. I figured as much when by chance I went back to make sure my comment posted, lo n’ behold – it never left the station.

When someone asks if they are going mad, it is very tempting to reinforce the idea (my quirky humour). However, with a little imagination I can see it. So put off the madness for a little bit anyway:)

  I thought I would get an analysis about what kind of madness drives you to see cartoons in flowers 😉 but I’m glad you see it too 🙂

This beauty does look like a gregarious character alright! Wonderful picture, Calee!! Perhaps it can sing opera? It does not look like it would settle for anything less than the leading role…

Since I don’t have the foggiest idea of the cartoon that you write/speak of I’ll have to pass on whether the orchid looks like what’s its name. 🙂
anyhoo, Calee this is a beauty- great color and composition. Great job as usual. But-but-but—— you never take a bad photo, or do you and I don’t know about it?

  Thanks so much, Yvonne!! And yes, I take plenty of bad photos! Even worse, sometimes I come home after a photo shoot and realize I’ve taken bad photos that all look the same.. :S
