Subfamily: Epidendroideae Tribe: Malaxideae Genus: Liparis Species: Liparis latifolia Lindl. (1830)
The Liparis latifolia is distributed in China, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Guinea, Philippines and Thailand at elevations of 200 to 1,700 metres (656 to 5,577 feet). The inflorescence can grow to 25cm (9.8 inches) long. It arches gently with between 10 to 80 flowers spaced about 1cm apart and alternate in position. The flowers measure only 1cm (0.4 inch) across.
On Borneo this species grows as an epiphyte and is found in shade close to the forest floor near to streams and rivers. It does not have a scent and flowers semi-annually, lasting only a few days. {Wikipedia: Epiphyte: " ..a plant that grows upon another plant (as a tree) non parasitically..."}
There are more than 30,000 species of orchids around the world and 1,500 can be found in Borneo. Generally, most wild orchids have little or no commercial value. They are either too small, take too long to produce flowers, have flowers that last only a few days or hours, or they look like weeds. The ones commonly found in orchid farms are hybrids.
{I have heard that some orchids flower every 12 years, and the flowers last only a few hours. Definitely for hardcore enthusiasts only. By the way, neither Stella nor myself grow flowers or orchids. I think it will be a good hobby for us.}

Thank you so much for your favs and comments!
mi sentivo attirato da una certa idea di
rivoluzione. I surrealisti, che non si consideravano terroristi nè attivisti
armati, lottavano
contro una società che detestavano usando come arma
principale lo scandalo, capace di mettere a nudo le molle
segrete e odiose del
sistema da abbattere. La maggior parte di quei
rivoluzionari erano figli di papà o meglio rampolli di buona famiglia.
Borghesi che si
ribellavano alla borghesia.
Ne sono un esempio.
A tutto questo bisogna
aggiungere, in me, un certo istinto negativo,
distruttivo, che ho sempre
sentito più forte di qualsiasi impulso creatore.
L’idea di incendiare
un museo, per esempio, mi ha sempre allettato più
dell’apertura di un
centro culturale o dell’inaugurazione di un
ospedale.
Non c’è
confronto.
