    Looking to identify...one I thought was vail (legume) family...very tiny, but with my addition camera equipment made to look big. Fround in a natura park in Calgary

    Then, the other purple flower, I want to think iris, perhaps crocus, it was found at the calgary zoo.

    First one is an orchid. Looks like mostly Phalaenopsis, perhaps a cross of 2 Phal species or a mix with something like one of the Laelias. Second photo is a Sweet Pea. :)

    Thank you, I was thinking it was an orchid, and the other one I knew belong to the legume family (although it was very small, about only an inch in height, as I used extension tubes on my camera lens to get the close up detail...I heard it could be called vail? I'm trying to label my photo cards, before I sell them. Thank you, Tom!
