Ten of Cups/Medinilla

Also known as pink grapes, medinilla grow high in the branches of large rainforest trees of the Philippines, requiring no soil to grow. Overhead, their bombastic inflorescences cascade down in intricate bouquets of pink and purple, attracting many types of bees to them. The cups are palayoks, a clay pot that cooks by sealing in steam. 

DIVINATORY – Flights of fancy, pipe dreams. A happy fantasy. Blissful ignorance.
REVERSE – There is a need to become detached, from either a person or a situation.
