I liked this bird in a display at the Hilo Orchid Show.

The Numbers Game #90
The idea of The Numbers Game is to enter a number into the search bar of your computer and then post a selection of the photos that turn up. This week’s number is 212, which turned up a selection dominated by plants, so I’ve gone for an all-plant line up. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.
Habenaria Medusa orchid
Another flower from the Hilo Orchid Show. These flowers were tiny and so delicate, I would never have thought they were an orchid without the handy label.
Potinara Samantha Duncan ‘Red Hot’ orchid
Another orchid from the Hilo Orchid Show. It’s not hard to see why it got the name.
Dendrobium Smiliae orchid
I had seen this flower some time ago and thought it would be easy to identify. No such luck. At the time, I didn’t realize it was an orchid. But then I saw this one at the Hilo Orchid Show with a handy tag attached. Problem solved.
It’s also known as the bottlebrush orchid and hails from northeastern Australia and areas nearby.
Paph. Cascade Creek ‘OK Too’ orchid
At the Hilo Orchid Show, the various displays are separated by black-curtained walls. There are a lot of orchids up against these walls, but one or two can be found isolated against this black backdrop. This Paphiopedilum Orchid was one of them, and I think it helped highlight this beautiful orchid.
Rlc. Lucinda S. Seale orchid
This past weekend, my wife and I went to the annual Hilo Orchid Show. There was the usual stunning display of orchids, including this red one. Red orchids are not nearly as plentiful as one might think. White, yellow and purple are the most common colors.
