¡Pero qué preciosidad de fotos! ¿A quien no le gustarán las orquídeas? Son tan impresionantes que no me sorprende que haya una comunidad especialmente para ellas, a pesar de no haberme topado con ella antes. Bonito descubrimiento y muy bonitas tus fotos.

No tengo idea de flores ni plantas, pero me fascina verlas, tengo recuerdos de pequeña en Venezuela de estas plantas pero todas moradas, no podría decir cuál es más bonita.

Me alegro mucho de que te a gustado, en verdad son muy preciosas y en interiores se ven fantástico.

what beautiful pictures, the truth is always a pleasure to see everything that you portray with the camera.

Thank you very much!!! I'm so glad you like it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
