To all my friends on TN "A Very Happy Easter".
*************************************************************************************
This is a bunch of Moth Orchids from Mahabaleshwar.

Few uses of ORCHIDS:

One orchid genus, vanilla, is commercially important, used as a foodstuff flavouring.

The underground tubers of terrestrial orchids (mainly Orchis mascula (Early Purple Orchid)) are ground to a powder and used for cooking, such as in the hot beverage salep or the so-called "fox-testicle ice cream" salepi dondurma.

The scent of orchids is frequently analysed by perfumists (using Gas-liquid chromatography) to identify potential fragrance chemicals.

The other important use of orchids is their cultivation for the enjoyment of the flowers. Most cultivated orchids are tropical or subtropical, but quite a few which grow in colder climates can be found on the market. Temperate species available at nurseries include Ophrys apifera (Bee Orchid), Gymnadenia conopsea (Fragrant Orchid), Anacamptis pyramidalis (Pyramidal Orchid) and Dactylorhiza fuchsii (Common Spotted Orchid).

Excellent macro of these lovely Orchids you saw in Maharashtra, Subhash.
The colours and patterns on them are very delicate and you have captured them very well in this picture.
I wonder, though, why you used your polarised filter for taking this picture. Was the light too harsh?
Nonetheless, the use of this filter has cast no negative effect on the image.
Regards.
