We came across a local village north of Naga Rock. The villagers offered us help and are very friendly. After some discussion, we decided to set up our field research center just across the river, northeast of the Lopak village.

Two days into the expedition and still no Blood Orchids. Interestingly, we came across a very rare specimen of purple Agolauran plants -- near the waterfall in the southwestern lower Selatan Basin -- of which the locals speak of high medicinal value, so we are collecting samples.

More Agolaurans! This time, it's the rare yellow species, and Amanda's team got some more live ones from the river fork next to the bog area east of our field research center. The locals talk about some regenerative powers in the plant.

Pete and his gang found some blue Agolaurans floating downstream from the northwest. According to the locals, these are the rarest and most potent variant. He sent his scouting team to find the source. If we can successfully take them home, we won't need any Blood Orchids!
