Description

Orchids have long been shrouded in mystery. In 19th-century China, their allure drew both good and bad people to seek them out. This story follows two young men as they navigate the complexities of their world. Edmund's journey begins at the Oxford Physic Garden, where he sets out on a plant-collecting expedition to China. There, he meets Dick, a talented Papuan artist, and together they travel from Macao to Guangzhou, exploring rivers, mountains, and villages. However, their path is often watched by someone who thrives on deceit. As Edmund's travels unfold, he becomes increasingly distracted by memories of the beautiful young Chinese woman he met in Singapore. When he returns home, a chance encounter with two strangers enables him to present her with a special gift, one that holds great significance for both of them.
