Sabah Agriculture Park V - Phalaenopsis

Finally, the famous "Elephant's Ears / Telinga Gajah" - Phalaenopsis gigantea. Sorry, no flower though. But I guess, anyone who love orchids would be satisfied with its beautiful gigantic leaves...LOL...sounds like us....but flowers make us happier.

This one down here is Phalaenopsis sumatrana - beautiful shiny leaves but no flower as well.

Renantera bella - I like the name. Very easy on the tongue :) and sounds very feminine.

On our way back to Kota Kinabalu from the park, we decided to take the new road. This road cuts through the Crocker Range and not for the faint hearted. At certain stretches, the slope is 19 degree steep. The scenery are very beautiful though.
