The vertical walls of Dirhur canyon is the only place I’ve found Garden Harlequin (Eulophia petersii). This is a very healthy colony with old inflorescences to show for. Judging by the growth and withered inflorescenes it is not flowering annually. Last winter rains provided plenty of water that should have sparked infloresences, but I found none underway.

Native range is Arabia, eastern Africa down to South Africa.
