Comparettia

Comparettia, abbreviated Comp in the horticultural trade,[3] is a genus of orchids. It consists about 50-70 species, native to tropical America. They occur in Mexico, Central America, the West Indies, and in northern South America as far south as Brazil and Bolivia, although they are particularly common in the Andes. The genus has grown markedly in recent years due to many species being transferred from other genera.[2][4]

gollark: It's not exactly Java's fault Minecraft is slow.
gollark: C++ or something with Lua modding.
gollark: I mean, it's a lot better technically (unlimited or at least much better world height, not Java, moddable), but the content is lacking.
gollark: I've also been looking into Minetest, a FOSS moddable Minecraft alternative, but honestly compared to MC itself it just seems bad.
gollark: Maybe in the late endgame we can do that with the stupidly OP combat stuff there is.
