Unus pro omnibus, omnes pro uno! And the phrasing of it in Romansh is quite proper.

In 1594 Shakespear writes in Tarquin the Proud...

The aim of all is but to nurse the life
With honour, wealth, and ease, in waning age;
And in this aim there is such thwarting strife,
That one for all, or all for one we gage;
As life for honour in fell battle's rage;
Honour for wealth; and oft that wealth doth cost
The death of all, and all together lost.
PS Sorry for the delayed response... having some computer issues these days.

Merci beaucoup

As William our Shakespeare wrote in 1609

When I do count the clock that tells the time,
And see the brave day sunk in hideous night,
When I behold the violet past prime,
And sable curls all silvered o’er with white



My personal mosquito Phalaenopsis lowii

A beautiful coerulea! Do you grow this in one of the cooler areas (compared to other Phals)?

Thank you so much No, it is hot to warm epiphyte. I grow it together with my Mituo hybrids, on bark slab.

I always liked this tidbit from 1597:

Within the infant rind of this small flower
Poison hath residence and medicine power.
For this, being smelt, with that part cheers each part;
Being tasted, stays all senses with the heart.
Two such opposèd kings encamp them still,
In man as well as herbs—grace and rude will.

Beautiful stuff as always, btw!

Lepanthes nephrida generous with flowers
