On reading Faith's comments on this album, I found she said almost exactly what I was going to write, so I will just say Amen to it! :)) Cynthia NZ

Hallo Sharon, Gosh I got so excited when I saw so many awesome orchids that I clean forgot to comment on each on. This is one absolutely stunning album. I haven't seen so many beautiful orchids together like this. Gosh it must be thrilling to walk thru a garden like that. I wouldn't know where to begin. Your photography is so clear and makes it such a joy to visit . There are magnificent blooms and I so enjoyed the walk thru this incredible album of yours. God's awesome creations once again. When I think He can't boggle my mind with all the beauties I have seen before then He pops up with ones like these. God Bless my dear friend. Hugs Faith

Thank-you for an enjoyable walk round the gardens. I do believe that one on your first page labelled Den'kingianum' is in fact Den biggibum, a pretty Aussie native. Great photos - Glenis in New Zealand. Webshots ID gday51

Hi Sharon! What a brilliant collection of colourful orchids!; no wonder they are so much sought after. The array of the different variety of orchids that you have photographed are, indeed, a feast to the eyes. This is the best orchids collection I have seen in WS, but, then, I have come to expect nothing less from you. Best wishes, Suresh

Hi Sharon & Bob! The variety of species of orchids is mind boggling! These are all so exquisite. The very last one is almost like the one I have blooming right now. Just slightly different in color and mine has some spots. I can't believe it's still blooming! Great job with these beauties!!!! More hugs! Jane

Hi Sharon & Bob, Another beautiful album from the Missouri Botanical Garden. There are so many varieties and colors of Orchids. They are such an amazing variety of flower and very much among my favorites. Wonderful album & beautiful photos. I ordered a 50mm - 500mm lens for my camera. I can't wait until I get it. It should open up a lot of new shots for my albums. I read your email and want to send one in return. I don't want you to feel that you have to keep these going. I know you and Bob have a lot going on right now. Enjoy your grandson & thank you both for sharing your beautiful photos. God bless, Ray

Thank you for this very beautiful album - I enjoyed looking at these 'living jewels'

said coni_fer01 2007.02.18 at 07:05:25 PST

OH Sharon, this Album just made my heart sing! I LOVE orchids, my very favourite flowers! When we lived in Singapore I had 5 kinds growing outside on the balcony. They would bloom sometimes for 2 - 4 months (the same stalk!) and always looked like a friendly little face was greeting you! And the Orchid Gardens in Singapore was outside in the tropical landscape - a wonderful place to spend an afternoon. This is a fantastic exhibit giving a great sampling of the incredible array of orchids available and thank you for taking such trouble labeling the varieties! have a great weekend! Marita

said worldtripper3 2007.02.17 at 06:51:43 PST

Hi Sharon, I haven't got to view them all, but so far this album is one of the most beautiful I have seen on orchids, you have even out done your last one, I think, and it was a phenomenal hit. Get ready for this one to be featured. Greetings and hugs from, OKLAHOMA. Susie

said segseven 2007.02.16 at 22:12:37 PST
