The more time I spend in Kapuas Hulu, the more I navigate by instinct not GPS.
I spotted a hill that felt right. Same slope, same aspect, same rock face as where I’d found Paphiopedilum kolopakingii before. I was right.

Four small pots, each with an African violet leaf cutting, freshly potted and labeled with the cultivar names: ‘Smoky Mountains,’ ‘Crater Lake,’ ‘Picasso,’ and ‘Ever Beautiful.’ Clear plastic domes cover the pots to create humidity. They’re arranged on a tabletop under soft LED lighting.

Tonight’s after-work project: potting up these African violet cuttings, sent to me by someone I met right here on BlueSky. Grateful for kind strangers, shared passions, and this little app that brings us together.
