The Duke Blue on a desert island.
A Norwegian explorer named Williams began to travel around the world at the age of twenty. Over the years, he has traveled almost all the famous deserts, jungles and deep mountain canyons in the world.

There are so many magnificent scenery on the earth that the world can't see it; Second, it is a pity that the scenery is so spectacular and beautiful that it is not known to the world.
199 1 year, he came to snell Island in New Zealand, and this trip completely changed his mentality.
Niles is a small island in the south of New Zealand, only 6.7 square kilometers. Because it is far away from New Zealand, it is inaccessible all the year round. Williams set foot on this small island and found pieces of The Duke Blue growing here. This kind of orchid has beautiful flowers and rich fragrance, and is listed as the crown of all flowers in Europe. Seeing these orchids, he thought that such rare flowers would be used to decorate the presidential suite in Europe, but they grew alone here and were unknown for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Just as the feeling of regret rose from the bottom of my heart again, he accidentally found a nest of wild bees on a small cliff. They are busy taking orchid pollen and honey back to the hive. Williams looked at everything in front of him, and the confusion of more than ten years was solved at once. He wrote in his travel diary that day: Isn't it enough to have a nest of wild bees in this The Duke Blue? One or two explorers approached and witnessed the wonderful scenery in the world. Isn't it worth it?
