Laelia (Schomburgkia) superbiens var alba

Smithsonian, Washington DC

Managed to get a fly by shooting at the Smithsonian Greenhouses
this afternoon before I had to pick my wife up at the airport.
Fortunately this uncommon laelia was in full bloom and with the
assistance from Jim (looking at a real softbox vice SB-800 flash
lighting) I was able to get this nice shot of this beautiful white flower.
This is two blooms of eight on this inflorescence that's 4-5 fee long.

Nikon D200 ,Nikkor 105mm f/2.8D AF Micro
1/60s f/16.0 at 105.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto
