@Jopy: Sure! I want to see Croatia above and below water too! :-)
@venus..:thanks! :-)
Yes, they are really beautiful, I'm preparing to spot few species that I saw yesterday...wow, I like your plan to visit Croatia! I believe you'll like our mountain, sea and islands :) we have very high biodiversity and lot of endemic species.
The terrestrial are unbelievably pretty as well. I am already considering the mountains in Croatia as another holiday spot! :-)
That's amazing! Can't imagine how beautiful they looks in nature! I've never had a chance to see epiphyte orchid in wild, have to be satisfied with our terrestrial :)
Many thanks, Jopy! Can you believe all these beauties growing up trees in the middle of the forest?? :-)
Beautiful orchid! Love it :)
