My husband and I have collected orchids for year. When we visited Mozambique 12 years ago we bought an ansellia Africana from a guy on the side of the road. Since then we’ve been pretty much obsessed with these awesome african species. A few years back I desperately wanted a tattoo and decided to get an ansellia africana tattooed on my arm. I really love the tattoo. The orchid pictured above is a paler variety (which occurs when the plants are from further south in Africa... the higher up - the darker the spots)... Really looking forward to our Mozambique originals coming into flower soon
