At the ridge near the top of a lonely hill, we found a population of Flickingeria fimbriata. Previously I had only encountered this orchid beside rivers and streams so I was abit surprise it was at such a dry habitat. 
The flower, borne at the base of the leaf, always bring a smile. Its lips reminds me of a trapped frog with both legs protruding out ....
.... too bad,it lasts only 1 day or less, which also explains why this plant is not in the trade, despite being fairly common.
