Cherry blossoms in DC, April 2015

Vandachostylis Lou Sneary 'Blue Bird' (formerly neostylis)

It's a shame that the flowers of this Rhynchostylis hybrid only last a few weeks. The blooms are starting to fade on this plant (one of my very favorites), but I managed to get a few more decent snaps before they started to drop. I'll miss having my apartment smell like jasmine tea--until next time!

The macro settings on my camera are limited and fussy, but I did like how this shot turned out. No technique to speak of, but shows off this neofinetia/rhynchostylis hybrid’s lovely flower form.
