Paphiopedilum henryanum in the wild

[cxcanh]

I just came back from a trip to see Paph henryanum blooming, still quite a lot.

Beautiful! The area is so clean is it in a reserve?

It is not reserve areas, this is a normal residential of local people.

Very cool.

Were the roots exposed or wedged in cracks?

Is that some kind of Dendrobium around it?

That is cool. They are all single growth plants. Do you see larger multi-growth plants as well?

This is fantastic—thank you for sharing it with us!

Just as I had imagined! Beautiful eye candy!

So special, I sure hope no one takes these plants and this natural spectacle can be enjoyed for future generations! Thanks for sharing cxcanh!

The photos are really gorgeous and so interesting concerning the conditions henrys prefer. The rock they're
growing on looks vertical...very interesting.

Very cool.

Looks like a rather wet environment to me!!!!

The roots just cover on the surface of the rook.
For this areas also have many other orchids species including some Dendrobium species.
In fact this time I'm sick so I can not go deeper to see more but it also have larger multi-growth plants like this (my last time photo):

In these three images is there a telephone wire running down this slope amid the plants?
