Replaced a Comodo dragon by one of the hunters and his drawing of an orchid. An actual hunting image, or even better a map showing ordic hunting areas would be even better, not a picture of a Comodo dragon. Gnemetropos ( talk) 16:50, 21 May 2010 (UTC) reply

I agree, the komodo dragon picture is of low quality and does not add to the article. I have removed it. Tom ( talk) 12:30, 1 July 2015 (UTC) reply

Surprised there is not a pop culture section in this article. As there has been many books and movies about orchid hunting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Champagne is from Champagne ( talk • contribs) 05:46, 14 July 2012 (UTC) reply
