I have just finished recolouring my small painting of flowers, the white and the pink ground orchid. It took around 4 days to complete the recolouring works.

| Ground Orchid |
Title: Ground Orchid
Size: 20.9 cm × 14.6 cm
Media: Watercolour on paper
Artist: Charles Roring
Orchid flowers do not wilt easily. The flower plant is beautiful and stands firm on the ground. In West Papua, this terrestrial orchid grows on hills or slopes whose ground is mostly composed of limestone with very thin layer of soil. This limestone hill is often dry and hot. It is an unfavorable environment for plants to grow well. However, the ground orchid Spathoglottis plicata could grow well in that harsh environment.
In human life, this is the kind of characteristics that a leader should have, i.e. having a love for nature or environment; having a strong connection with her grassroot; able to adapt with the challenging condition.
