Current Location: On the hill slopes in Tai Po, New Territories, at around 600m in KFBG campus but wild, Hong Kong. Camera used: IPHONE4 (I am a poor photographer as I have no other camera right now :P)

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
