Ce saint est originaire du Pays de Galles et, après avoir traversé la Manche au VIesiècle, il devint évêque du Trégor juste avant saint Tugdual. Il est plausible qu’il ait été lié à saint Guénolé qui vivait à la même époque. Un hameau porte son nom à Pléhédel.
Namgyal Tsemo gompa, founded in early 15th century, is a buddhist monastery placed on top of a hill above Leh, the main city of Ladakh region in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, India
Ladakh, "land of high passes", that extends from the Kunlun mountain range to the main Great Himalayas to the south, is a part of India very different from the rest of the country.
Its culture and history are closely related to that of Tibet. Proof of this, it is the nickname "Little Tibet" frequently given to this region!
And this is the view of St. Paul´s from the Millennium Bridge.

There has been some very interesting architecture spring up in the Battersea area over the past number of years as the redevelopment of the old power station has spurred on regeneration in nearby areas. That includes a whole host of riverside apartment blocks on both sides of the river. The price tags on any of these apartments I'm sure would be north of a million pounds, perhaps much more, I really don't know but what I do know is that I loved these curves and textures.
Among the various species of plants popularly known as the slipper orchid, Paphiopedilum Leeanum is, without a doubt, the most cultivated in all of Brazil. Despite having its origins in the Himalayas, this exotic orchid has adapted perfectly to the Brazilian climate, and can be found in the most different collections, whether by orchidists or not. As an orchid with terrestrial habits, it is usually cultivated by our mothers and grandmothers as a simple garden plant. This nice Paphiopedilum orchid, whose flowers look like small Dutch clogs.
Paphiopedilum Leeanum is a primary hybrid, which means that this orchid is the result of crossing only two different species: Paphiopedilum insigne and Paphiopedilum spicerianum. It is a classic, as it was registered in 1884. Since then, it has been cultivated and marketed as an ornamental plant all over the world, although some more purist collectors turn up their noses at hybrid and common orchids.
Paphiopedilum is a genus of orchids popularly known as the slipper orchid that currently has 96 cataloged species, most of which are classified as terrestrial, that is, in their natural habitat, they are found in the soil.

Cypripedioideae is a subfamily of orchids commonly known as lady's slipper orchids, lady slipper orchids or slipper orchids. Cypripedioideae includes the genera Cypripedium, Mexipedium, Paphiopedilum, Phragmipedium and Selenipedium. They are characterised by the slipper-shaped pouches (modified labella) of the flowers – the pouch traps insects so they are forced to climb up past the staminode, behind which they collect or deposit pollinia, thus fertilizing the flower. There are approximately 165 species in the subfamily.
