Smiling Orchid of Lal Bagh

Orchids are such a joy to see, particularly when you have them smiling back to you, no?


Some time back I visited the Lal Bagh flower show, it was the orchid collection there that got the maximum wows. A very impressive collection the display proved to be photographers’ favorite. Downloading my collection later I saw them smiling at me. There seemed to small faces in the center of the flowers which seemed to have big eyes and a broad smile.


Do you see what I see?
