Thanks a lot for appreciating mam.
I went on a walk and reached this place and found some Curculigo like
leaves on the slopes. I was thinking, it has to be orchid and I took
some pic, didnt want to dig out, but just checked by inserted my
fingers in soil. And I was so foolish, the flowers were blooming just
next to it at 1 distance. I laughed at myself :P.

Yes mam you are absolutely right. Being in the wild has a very unique
experience which is incomparable to anything else in the world.
