Orchid Sprouts From Skull Said to Hold Chief’s Spirit

A remarkable orchid, said to cradle the spirit of a dead Philippine war chief, grows from a skull trophy once kept by rival leader Guan. The skull's grave marker now bears a vivid flower that locals revere as the chief’s spirit, a tale dating back decades.
