2. Odontochilus nanlingensis (NT$9): This orchid grows on the ground, generally with 2 or 3 flowers. The white petals have a reddish hue with reddish-brown stripes and marks. It flowers in spring and is found at heights of 500 to 1,000 meters in damp broadleaved forest from Wulai to Nanao.
3. Bulbophyllum retusiusculum (NT$10): A miniature parasitic orchid with colorful petals. Its upper lip is dark red, while the sides are yellow and 1.5 cm long. The flowers are generally arranged in a fan-shape, like a small circular comb, so it is also called Yellow Comb Orchid. It flowers in autumn and winter and is common in cool damp evergreen broadleaved forest in the mid to low altitude mountains of Taiwan.
4. Bulbophyllum griffithii (NT$20): A parasitic orchid with single flower, 0.8 to 1.2 cm across, whose petals are parchment white densely flecked with purple.

You should see how my colleague Wesley Virgin's report launches in this shocking and controversial video.
You see, Wesley was in the military-and shortly after leaving-he unveiled hidden, "MIND CONTROL" tactics that the CIA and others used to get whatever they want.
These are the exact same SECRETS lots of famous people (notably those who "became famous out of nothing") and elite business people used to become wealthy and successful.
You probably know that you utilize only 10% of your brain.
Mostly, that's because the majority of your brainpower is UNCONSCIOUS.
Maybe this conversation has even occurred INSIDE your own mind... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's mind 7 years back, while riding a non-registered, beat-up bucket of a vehicle without a license and with $3.20 on his bank card.
"I'm very fed up with living paycheck to paycheck! Why can't I turn myself successful?"
You've been a part of those those conversations, isn't it so?
Your success story is going to start. You need to start believing in YOURSELF.
