Today is the day I have been waiting for since we started orchid hunting 4 years ago. We are looking for the Queen of Sheba Orchid. She is a very rare and difficult to find orchid that will not open unless there is full sun and will refuse to open all day if there is cloud cover. Today's conditions are supposed to be good so fingers crossed and we look and see. We are also on the quest for 2 other rare orchids. The Crested Ant Orchid and the Yellow Spider Orchid.
Dr Paul had not seen a Queen of Sheba for 40 years.
We found her royal highness!!!
