Azalea Temple - Daikozenji

This is my most recent video, not exactly about orchids, but you'll see a number of Calanthe and Cymbidium goeringii in it. Lovely place, lovely time of year.

What a marvelous place to have a fantasy...so beautiful and serene. Where were the bees and hummingbirds?
Please excuse me. I'm obsessed with such pollinators and
the demise thereof. I always look forward to your videos
and enjoy them immensely. Thank you.

I'm glad you all liked it. I'm trying to do at least 2 videos a month from now on - a challenge to keep up with.

Angela,

Hummingbirds are native to the Americas only. A little bird you see around flowers here is the Japanese White-Eye (Zosterops japonicas), but usually they like plum trees and Camellias in the winter months. As for pollinators, tons around, but they are smaller and harder to see. As for honey bees, yes, there is a serious situation in Japan as well, but the little reading I've done suggests it is occurring differently here compared to America or Europe. Pesticides are once again implicated by most researchers.
