I saw this orchid in my bank today and it fascinated me. All I had was my iPhone and a hope for something good.

The local Trader Joe's had some on trees in front of the store until the last hurricane.

It caught my eye as soon as I sat down. I took several photos but I liked this one the best.
I'm working on doing different angles rather than the 'normal' straight on one!
