Btw, there were also a few Vandas, a even less Dendrobiums if I recall correctly

The Longest Journey

Thanks for the recommendation! I have a long list of games I want to play make graphs from, and I just checked and that game already on it. So one day, it should come

Exactly, it's the Venetian in Macau

Surprisingly, I didn't smell anything, even though it is supposed to smell.

Why is the first picture a Paphiopedilum? (It's an orchid)

Oh yeah thanks, that's what it reminded me of.
And btw, I didn't know those were moved.

Yes

The photograph is taken looking up in a room. There are thousands of cables hanging down from the ceiling to the floor, with LEDs attached at regular intervals. The room has mirrors on the walls, on the ceiling and on the floor, so in whatever direction you look you see this. The whole this is programmed to shown different colors changing over time, combined with music and sounds. You can go through the room through a predefined path where the cables are shorter and don't reach the floor, allowing you to walk under them. It gives the illusion that you're in the middle of some infinite arrangement of lights, going on in all directions, sometimes moving, sometimes rotating, or just pulsating with the music. The room is part of a wider art installation called "teamLab SuperNature", in Macau, and it is quite a unique experience.

Thanks

Dioscorea sansibarensis

Thank you

I'm not so sure. They forgot the citations, and also the acknowledgments for the project that gave the funding.

Norfolk Island Pine

Thanks

Thanks; I had never heard of it

The view is nice, but I think if I lived there I'd go once and then not again because it's expensive

Yes, it's Scaphyglottis fasciculata

Hmm, I guess I should have squeezed it – no idea.

Thanks! It's a pet peeve of mine when people use an abbreviated genus name without having written the full genus name first.

La photo date du 7 janvier en fait. Ceci ça me tenterait d'en refaire une

I'm afraid I don't (even though I'm old)

And the best part is, they're in subtribe Laeliinae

It tasted good, but I don't think I would have been able to distinguish the taste from a "golden" kiwi

It tasted pretty much like a yellow kiwifruit, nice and sweet and better to me than the green ones. I was disappointed however that it was still mostly green inside.

Cheers!

That's it, Aquaria KLCC in Kuala Lumpur

Nope

I guess that (1) there are enough other roots in the ground, and (2) the root in the air may be able to extract humidity the air, and also water directly when it rains. Not sure what species this is but in some trees roots also have the function to help with stability, like extra stems.

Very slightly

You can eat the seeds, right?

I don't know

Hätte ich mir denken können

The correct name seems to be Dendrobium Singapore Changi Airport though

Thanks for the ID ; I had no idea

Yep, the flower stalk supports everything by itself. It's a terrestrial species, so the flower stalk grows upwards by nature.

It's terrestrial, and it is a species rather than a grex.

I don't think so

Can't confirm what grows in front of that cathedral, but probably not, because those irises grow along lakes and rivers. (Insert comment about how many lakes and rivers in Brussels have been asphalted over making the city's emblematic flower a rare sight.)

It was in a narrow greenhouse passage just behind the room with the gigantic Alocasia (or other aroid).

It's in the same family, but another genus (Annona)

Not sure, but it separated by itself, so I guess it should be fine (if I take care of it correctly, that is)
