I will rarely blog from a hike live since having my head stuck in a screen while out would somewhat defeat the purpose, but I will usually summarize upon returning to civilization and stream select photos on social media (Facebook, Instagram and Twitter) live instead—when and if there is access to wifi.

My focus… if pressed to name favorites it would have to be orchids of the Pleurothallidinae persuasion. But a Paphiopedilum was the first orchid I ever fell in love with so slipper orchids will always be close to my heart, and while we are on the subject I might as well disclose a love affair with Neofinetia as well.
