Here's a beautiful example of a big Ansellia africana in a palm tree in the Okavango - couldn't get any closer without swimming through papyrus...

Bummer of a plant. Imagine this one in full bloom.

Thanks for all the comments/likes. I would love to catch it in flower, but it's tough to get there - couple of days in a boat, some times of year the channels are too shallow for a boat.

Thanks for the the photo. It grows like some cymbidiums in southeast Asia.
