NT Orchid Farm - Sg Petani, Kedah

Dropped by at Mr Lawrence's farm at Sg. Petani while on the way to Alor Setar with Bang Nuar. This is my first visit to his farm. A well-known person who travel overseas to join international orchid expos. He brought back many cattleya species during his last trip to Brazil end of last year.

Checked out his wonderful orchids and farm for future reference. Ended with delicious dinner at Tanjung Dawai! Wonderful ikan bakar.. yummy!
