There is only one orchid that I am highly anticipated to find - Bulbophyllum virescen 'Red' - something that has not been seen before. Me and Hj Naza have talked about it for so long and finally after more than 10 years, we are going to explore and check whether the plant is still there or not.
We met Mr. Kali and started our journey to a remote place somewhere in Pahang. After trekking for about 3 hours on the second day, we scouted the area and only managed to find many yellow virescen with spikes - perhaps within a week will bloom!
On the 3rd day, before packing our stuff to go back, I scouted the area once more and lo and behold!
I FOUND IT!... it was amazing!

| I am very sure this is the plant. The old clump/colony is 2 feet below the upper leaves |
