Caught in the act!

I guess I could contribute with this photo of H. kerrii. I was taking photos of the nectar and you can see what happened. I guess that's called lucky photographing because I doubt I'll ever catch it again.

For some reason the photo didn't want to come along. New try!

Now THAT is INCREDIBLE, Christina!!!

Wow, that's a really cool picture Christina. You definitely wouldn't want that one above your carpets when it's blooming.

Sandy

That looks really neat. Lucky to catch that one Christina.

Simply stunning!

Agree, really stunning!

Thank you ladies! Yes, I was glad to have caught it on photo. I put a paper plate under the plant and the nectar has dripped first on the leaves and then down on the plate.

Christina

That is so awesome!!!!! Thanks for sharing. :))))))

Oh wow, marv-vu-lous, awesome, mag-nif-cent, wonderful picture!!

Blessings,
Awanda

That is so cool, Christina. That is definately a once-in-a-life shot!
I think the Kerrii bloom is one of the most interesting (if not messiest) blooms.

Christina - - is that REALLY nectar?!?!? Oh my goooosh - that is tooo coool! Looks like each bud is oozing maple syrup or something. WOW

....ps ~~ I just had a thought - if it has that much nectar - is it MESSY?
I sure do think it would be....

Yeppers, kerrii is a "messy bloomer":)

Nice spurt of the moment shot Christina

Milan

No one will top that. Very good. Joan

Just stunning. You could sell that shot to some publications I'm sure.
Marcy

Ok, now I'm hooked for sure. You have all ruined me for my orchids - now I'm buying Hoyas like an addict. I also just got a new DSLR camera - can't wait for some of them to bloom so I can perfect my photo techniques. Christina - I'm truly jealous.
Ginger

Oh, don't worry Ginger. You are so not alone!

Ann

Amen to that Ann! Ginger, if you are "already hooked"....this is the PLACE FOR YOU TO BE! lol. WELCOME!

:O Wow, Christina that is just way to cool. Great photo.. :)

Thank you all! Glad you liked the photo. It'll be in a Swedish hoya magazine in August.

The flowers are still there but shrivelling up. The nectar is really sticky now and when this is over I'll have to give that kerrii a really thorough shower!

Christina

Wow.. i just love your pics...
