Note: Endemic to China and Hong Kong.
Picture was taken on Lantau Island in a rocky gorge. It has not been observed in wild in Hong Kong very often.
The third image is of a small reservoir in the same gorge. It reminded me of the Marina Bay Sands hotel roof which has a swimming pool. But looks so absurd. This looks better 😛
Superb pics … the second pic shows the flowers glassy…the habitat is equally beautiful…
Great Photo and nice write up … Now we are also getting to know about South China flora because of you. That reservoir is really beautiful. This is what I was comparing the reservoir pics with. The Marina Bay Sand hotel pics. Sorry for posting, irrelevant pics!!
