Posted - Jan 28 / Arrived - Feb 24. Nearly a month and look at the plants!

Trip to Ganu Kite..

The original plan was to travel to Alor Star first to pick up Abg Nuar and then headed to Kemaman - Chemerong - Kuala Trengganu - Pasir Mas - Alor Star. However, both Abg Nuar and Imran cancelled the trip last minute. I still went to Kemaman to visit Kak Fifa and sent her the orchids she ordered from Jiemy Najib. Then headed to KT and went for fishing with Imran and friend. Not much we can do as the sea is still rough. Not the best time to fish until late March. Nevertheless, still catched few fishes in Sg Terengganu. Went back through Kemaman and picked up the clump of G. speciosum which I bought from that Uncle in Keruak 6 months ago..

 

Visit to Jiemy Najib's Nursery

I really wanted to visit the nursery at Paroi since many years. Ironically, it is just 5 minutes from home, haha! Nowadays, Bain's son, Jiemy is managing this small orchid nursery. I was better than before and sure the wild orchids are still coming in from Jelebu and some imported ones from Indonesia.
