Observations focused on the problems of an underdeveloped country, Venezuela, with some serendipity about the world (orchids, techs, science, investments, politics) at large. A famous Venezuelan, Juan Pablo Perez Alfonzo, referred to oil as the devil's excrement. For countries, easy wealth appears indeed to be the sure path to failure. Venezuela might be a clear example of that.
Unknown FeedTake a break from the political tension and admire this spectacular orchid, Cattleya Gaskelliana “Blue Dragon”, one of the Queens of the Venezuelan so-called “blue” orchids. I got a piece from a friend a while back, it flowered once but I was not impressed. This time I am. Enjoy!
