Grammatophyllum Uncle at Felda Keruak, Terengganu

A 3-day trip to north and east again. The plan was to shoot photo of Doritis pulcherrima insitu. They grow along the beach in Besut, Terengganu. I've never seen this orchid and really wish to see them. Unfortunately, we found none! haha..

We also visited an uncle who grows a mini farm of Grammatophyllum speciosum. Fortunately we came at the right time, during its flowering season! It is really an eye-catching display of mouthwatering Tigers! Got a clump of 'red' variety and it was difficult to choose among these huge clump of Tigers. But the hidden jewel would be his 'Blue' speciosum. WOW! Wish he could give us to mericlone it. That would be fast.. 

 

Another Trip to Hatyai - Agricultural Show

This time it is a family trip to Hatyai in conjuction of its Agricultural Week. It is held inside the campus of Prince Songkhla University. This 1-week event displayed the agricultural products of Thai ranging from ornamental plants to machinery and poultry. As usual, bought some orchids as souvenirs.. 

 

 

 

What Fish has to do with Orchids?..

Ok.. it may be related or not at all! haha.. Collecting the walkerianas is not the main reason. Actually, I wanted to catch 'ikan belida' or Asian knifefishes or featherback. See our action of that day!

The walkerianas were actually from Mr. Lawrence who brought them back from Brazil.
