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 delhierhoi has very big flower.







Lepanthes matamorosii shines with rubies this season



Lepanthes nephrida generous with flowers



Masdevallia prodigiosa
