They are nice. I can see why the Bees like them.
Next stop Topaz, or have you had a go and it didn't work. 8-) 8-) 8-)

They have been Topazed. I think they are called Bee Orchids because they resemble Bees. I was shocked at how small they were. :shock: They said that it was one of the few areas in the country where they were thriving and they had close to a couple of hundred on the whole reserve, but we managed to find some. By the way these were taken with the 500mm not the macro lens, so I don`t know why I posted it in the macro section. ;)
