Why is the first picture a Paphiopedilum? (It’s an orchid)
The photograph is taken looking up in a room. There are thousands of cables hanging down from the ceiling to the floor, with LEDs attached at regular intervals. The room has mirrors on the walls, on the ceiling and on the floor, so in whatever direction you look you see this. The whole this is programmed to shown different colors changing over time, combined with music and sounds. You can go through the room through a predefined path where the cables are shorter and don’t reach the floor, allowing you to walk under them. It gives the illusion that you’re in the middle of some infinite arrangement of lights, going on in all directions, sometimes moving, sometimes rotating, or just pulsating with the music. The room is part of a wider art installation called “teamLab SuperNature”, in Macau, and it is quite a unique experience.
Thanks
I’m not so sure. They forgot the citations, and also the acknowledgments for the project that gave the funding.
Norfolk Island Pine
Thanks
The view is nice, but I think if I lived there I’d go once and then not again because it’s expensive
Thanks! It’s a pet peeve of mine when people use an abbreviated genus name without having written the full genus name first.
It tasted good, but I don’t think I would have been able to distinguish the taste from a “golden” kiwi
I guess that (1) there are enough other roots in the ground, and (2) the root in the air may be able to extract humidity the air, and also water directly when it rains. Not sure what species this is but in some trees roots also have the function to help with stability, like extra stems.
You can eat the seeds, right?
I don’t know
It was in a narrow greenhouse passage just behind the room with the gigantic Alocasia (or other aroid).
It’s in the same family, but another genus (Annona)
Surprisingly, I didn’t smell anything, even though it is supposed to smell.
