āI hold it true, whateāer befall;I feel it when I sorrow most;āTis better to have loved and lostThan never to have loved at all." ā- Lord Tennyson
"Common name: Kapa-ŠŠ°ŃŠ°
Scientific Name: Medinilla magnifica
NATIVE TO THE PHILIPPINES and also ENDEMIC.
Meaning it is only found in the Philippines unless transported elsewhere by humans.
Kapa-kapa is a species of flowering plant in the family Melastomataceae, native to the Philippines. This plant is also commonly known as the Philippine orchid; it is an epiphyte. Epiphyte means it grows on another plant but is not parasitic - just like how orchids and bromeliads are growing on trees but do not harm the trees they are on.
The plant grows up to 3 m tall, with opposite, firm, leathery leaves, which grow to 20-30 cm long in an ovate shape with a short point. In the Philippines, M. magnifica grows in the forks of large trees.ā

Flamingo Gardens Everglades Wildlife Sanctuary is home to permanently injured or non-releasable Florida native wildlife, including alligators, bobcats, eagles, otters, panthers, peacocks, and, of course, flamingos! Join us this weekend in Flamingo Gardens for the EXOTIC PLANT FESTIVAL AND BONSAI SHOW. It's the #1 garden in Broward County for me and the staff here are doing an excellent job!!
As we bring this eventful day to a close here at Orchidsinbloom in the Orlando International Orchid Show and Sale, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude towards Jim Krull and Pam Waters for giving us a platform to showcase our plants.
We are immensely grateful to all my fellow Filipinos (kabayan) and our regular people who came and supported us by buying our lovingly cultivated orchids. Thank you very much for your patronage!
