Rare Arfak Orchid!

Rare What Orchid?


Very lucky to capture an extremely rare orchid species from the Arfak Mountains in Papua New Guinea. It bloomed in our home garden here in Klang.

The last bloom was in 2005 due to climatic change, it usually blooms once a year.

This strange orchid features a prehistoric look with scale-like texture and a dinosaur head!

I believe this HD Video clip is the first one being shot.
