🌸 In the misty cool mountains of #Alishan in central #Taiwan, there is a flower that is said to be a gateway to the gods

The #Dendrobium #Orchid, or #GoldenGrass #Orchid, grows in clumps of between 10 and 20 on glossy green canes. A yellow flower with a velvety orange-fringed centre, it is beautiful but odourless

To the indigenous Tsou tribe, it is known simply as the #GodFlower

The tribe is now convinced that #GlobalWarming is to blame for its now scarcity
