Seychelles, July - August of 1997: |
| "One of the goals of this expedition was taking photos of the rare plant
Nepetnthes pervillei, which grows only on these islands. We had been
searching it for a long time in vain. It was getting dark aleady, and our
hopes to find this flower was dying out with the Sun.On the sideroad we saw
a boy about 14 and tried to make inquieres to him. He could not understand,
what we wanted and could not even define the language we spoke. Then I took
a pencil and drew the typical form of Nepenthes pervilleii. The boy nicked
his head with joy and led us to the top of hte nearest mountain. In 30
minutes we found ourselves in the place, where hundreds of splendid plants
grew, which we had been searching for so long."
