I think I am already hook to the native orchids of Borneo......there are more than 2,000 species of orchids in Borneo, so I don't know how many years I need to take to photograph all the flowers of the orchid in my native land. I hope I can photograph at least 1,000 species of the exotic orchids from Borneo! Wish me luck. :-)



Here are some pictures of flower & inflorescence of orchids which are taken in my garden recently:

The tiny flower (about 1cm across) of jewel orchid, Anoectochilus longicalcaratus.

This is the flower of a terrestrial orchid, Acanthephippium sp. (Probably Acanthephippium javanicum ???)
