Digression 5.1: A new Orchid Species


 


Well, things are more complicated than they appeared from the NYT article according to this article from the Miami Herald, people are ready to make a quick profit. Unfortunately it appears the plant does not propagate very well, somebody is already doing it!!! There is also controversy about scientific claims….how juicy. Friends tell me that what is more impressive about the discovery is how purple the flowers are and the fact that they are twice as big as other species. Neat!!
