    June 17 2007. I went back to this limestone hill to photograph the epiphyte plants which are growing on the trees using my new zoom lens.

    The limestone hill:





    The mossy limestone wall:





    Now, I can get the closer view of Nepenthes veitchii (pitcher plant) using my zoom lens. It is growing together with orchids on a very high tree.






    Close-up of N. veitchii & the orchids.

    Now I can photograph the close-up photo of slipper orchid,Paphiopedilum stonei without hanging on the limestone cliff.




    And also...can get the closer view of this slipper orchid, Paphiopedilum lowii without cropping my photo using photoshop.





    This big orchid also grow on a tall tree.....I think is Dimorphorchis lowii (?)





    An unidentified species of orchid is flowering on the tree canopy (I was standing at the summit area):





    As this orchid is too far from me,I need to crop the picture to see the closer view. I think I need to save money to buy a more powerful zoom lens.
