Laeliocattleya Orglade's Cheer 'Shirley D'

When we joined Flickr nearly a year ago we did not realize that we would meet and make friends from all over the world who shared a love of nature and of beautiful photography. To all those friends we wish a very blessed and merry Christmas and New Year.

The flower, another orchid, whose colors seem appropriate for the season, is a hybrid of Cattleya Chocolate Drop and Laeliocattleya Wine Festival.
