Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it an insect? Is it an orchid? Is it one of Dennis' gorgeous pictures? Yes it is. Unbelievable!

Well put Phil and Sara! And the flower is only the size of a fingernail !

Taking photographs like this has opened my eyes to how marvelous nature is. The plant seems so insignificant buried in the long grass. It is only when you see the finished photograph that you fully realise how wonderful it is. I could stare at it for ages wondering what each bit does, especially the yellow 'helmet' and wide-open mouth.

I wouldn't meet it in a dark alley. But it could be a pop star. B****y gorgeous.

I justlove  our Corfu. Life is for living. Not ignoring. These beautiful creatures make it so much more than a concrete high rise Spain. Well that's what I believe.

Absolutely agree!  Arillas is the most beautiful place (with beautiful people) that we have ever been to!

My cousin's wife grows orchids.She says she doesn't do anything special but never fails to amaze me how pretty and delicate her plants look.

Ah, that would apply to me then, Jen, with our indoor plants - I water them when I remember and usually they turn out OK!

Alas Janis I don't have the green fingered touch.If I walk into a garden centre to pick a houseplant you can hear the little leaves scream 'help,murder,polis'.I'll just be content looking at the lovely pictures posted here and on the Corfu Wildlife link.
