Flowers in Sabah

Sabah, in the northern tip of Borneo is well known for its incredible flowers, in particular the insect-eating Rafflesia (whch smells of rotting meat) and the Pitcher plants, whose flower literally looks like a jug and can also catch insects.  Well, neither has been in bloom whilst I've been here, but that hasn't stopped me from pretending that I'm an 19th Century naturalist and doing some serious flower photography!  If you love flowers like me, then you might enjoy these pics.

    Uhh, some of those pics are a bit... suggestive. Ahem. Who'd have thought nature could be so vulgar!
