Last year I travelled to the island of Bali in Indonesia and climbed (on the back of a motorcycle, mind) to the mountains outside of Ubud to see the orchids at the Botanic Garden of Ubud. The orchids were everywhere growing, as the imagination might perceive, all over the trees. It was wonderful to see this elusive plant thriving in it’s natural habitat…without the instruction manual and the calendar marks for spraying mist, etc. This photo above is merely one sample. Can anyone name that orchid?
It does look like a Ladyslipper, Eliza. Thank you for your comment! There were so many orchids and so many photos that I can’t identify them. Stay tuned, though, and I will post more from this particular garden. It was such a nice tour.
I don’t know this orchid but it reminds me of the native (and hardy) ladyslippers that reside around me. Beautiful!

It looks like Phragmipedium sedenii to me.
Something i wish to do is see Masdevallia in their natural habibtat.
