very nice! i am also an enthusiast of philippine endemic species. Philippines is one of the most biologically diverse countries in the world. a large concentration of orchid and plant species in one place. sadly, due to deforestation, many species are almost extinct in the wild. it is estimated that more species yet to be discovered still lie in the remaining virgin forests of the philippines. it would be of great advantage to the horticulture industry and to plant enthusiasts if we could help in any way to educate people about protecting these wildlife areas.
