RIP Malala

A very sad news:

I'm not a big believer of ex-situ conservation, but her rescue effort had made big impacts on the availability of wonderful Madagascarian orchids. I have gotten from her only once, but I'll need to take care of the plants well, and hopefully propagate them to continue her efforts.

I have several plants from Malala...

She was not from Malaysia but from Madagascar and of course specialist of Angraecoides.

RIP.
