    When I got my new lens, (Nikkor VR 70-300mm zoom lens) I decided to climb Gunung Santubong (810 m) again. They are going to build a cable car station at the summit area. Before they come to "kill" those pitcher plants & orchids, I have to photograph as many pictures as possible before everything is gone (at the site).

    My webpage is still under construction, but you can view some of my pix. taken on last Saturday:

    You can see the coastal area of southern Sarawak from the summit:




    Nepenthes hirsuta found abundantly in the shady area above 1,000 feet.






    Nepenthes albomarginata





    This Nepenthes albomarginata is growing on the sandstone wall.

    Some of the Nepenthes albomarginata are growing on the tree.




    Nepenthes veitchii always found growing on the tree.





    Orchid, Coelogyne sp.





    The helmet orchid is one of the smallest orchids on earth. This species, Corybas carinatus is growing together with a clump of mosses.
