More flowers from Borneo

For the flower enthusiasts and lovers of all things botanical, ......Once again I'll put on my 19th Century naturalist hat, to share with you more flowers from Borneo! :) Ang

I love this waxy flower.

The texture is almost like plastic

This is from the garden in Long Kerong - the children picked it for me


The ginger flower is interesting because it grows about a foot from the stem, out of the ground.


Banana plant



Mountain Flower from the top of Batu Layuk

Another beautiful mountain flower





This delicate orchid is deep in the jungle, in a special flowering area

This one is in that same flowering area - so exquisite





Pitcher plants are amazing.  These are from the jungle garden.





A flower...and me!












The Penan version of a daisy chain :)

Lipstick orchids along the riverbank near Long Spigen
