Tambak Sari Called for Nursery Visit

Called Marni today to confirm her invitation to visit a nursery for selection of trees at Yong Peng, Johor. I can't remember the name of the nursery but she said they have reduced the number of trees to be puchased. Aikkk... that means the place will have less shade and surely hot in the afternoon. Since I can't make it during weekdays, I asked whether we can visit the nursery and tag the trees that we want. She said ok and will email me the trees details later. Hj Naza has no problem with that and thus, further arrangement will be made for this trip.

In the afternoon we went to visit Hourai and looking around his nursery. Nothing special but to ask list of his current protocorm for future exchange. Reen will email the list later. Some flowering orchids at their nursery-

What's New After Raya?

Not much! The lab work resumes as usual after Hari Raya with so many seed pods to be sown. Hj Naza made another media for flasking - can't remember what number. Reflasking work is also in progress and now I realize that additional staff to do the reflasking work may be needed in near future.
