This have been a dream for many years. Now it´s […]
My thoughts goes to the People of Ukraine. It´s horrible that a modern country can do such a evil act in these modern times. STOP THE WAR! No normal human being starts a war like that. SHAME ON YOU!

Some of the smallest species are P tica (the species I found in Colombia that could be another sp), P jungermannioides, P microtatantha etc. The smallest flowers range from 1,1mm to 2 mm in size. They are hard to find in the rain forest. A little […]
