In full bloom

Orchids are some of the most fascinating flowers in the world; not only do they grow and bloom in a particlarly beautiful manner, they also grow almost everywhere. Whilst other flowers are limited to specific continents and circumstances, orchids have shown themselves to be quite capable of growing in Europes harsher climate just as well as they would in the global south. That said, they're still very much are rarer sight in the wild in Europe, and are most commonly found in South America and Asia. All the more impressive to find them in the nature reserves of the South of Luxemburg. Their rather scarce population means they're also under strict protection, so it's forbidden to pluck or cut them. That means you won't get to keep one as a souvenir while hiking on one of these hiking trains on the "Prënzebierg - Giele Botter" nature reserve between Pétange and Differdange, but you'll certainly get to take pictures and make memories.
