Great spot! I was in Singapore a couple of years ago and the collections managers at the National Orchid Garden said this species sprang up as a weed on loads of the bark mounts of other orchids! It's great to see what a beautiful sight it is en masse and I love the shot of the bee visiting a flower. Thank you.
