... fantastic uploads dear Pankaj! And more in progress. And perhaps you may not finish uploading your collection until stroke of coming midnight! I am guessing this family episode will be remembered for max number of uploads as well as max number of participants, and max number of uploads by one participant -- that is you!

Regards.

Dinesh

Very nice shots Pankaj Ji. This seems the typical Malaxis purpurea (now Crepidium purpureum). I have also seen this purple form here around Jeolikot but no pics now. A little inquiry here....please see and compare this species from Uttarakhand and Homg Kong in attached world file...they look different in floral morphology.

Even the pics uploaded by Rawat sir are different colourforms of Crepidium purpureum.
