thanks Craig,i have been seeing my spot list and i discover that i have allready spott this beautiful plant,but whithout flowers,and now whith flowers i thougth that it was another diferent:)in that wall,i spott several plants,it's a thing that i admire the capacity to survive in the most unexpected and hard places.thanks for your kind words,i tried to sow that the common organisms are also very beautiful.i'am not less satisfied because it's not a wild orchid,what grabe me is the beaty itself,so i'll continue my wild orchid saga until i spott my first:)

Almost forgot what I was going to say before reading your note. Such fantastic shots! You really showed this lovely plant in its full glory and for something that is small and easily overlooked, that's no mean feat. Thank you.

Not an orchid Antonio, but I can see why you might think that. This is one of my favourites - a real tenacious little beauty, and if I remember rightly, it actually plants its own seeds into the cracks!
