During our trip to Sabah, we visited Nabalu and Poring Hot Spring, both located on the Crocker Range and at the foot of Mt. Kinabalu. At Nabalu, orchids are sold at the roadside stalls while at Poring Hot Spring, the place to visit is the Poring Orchid Conservation Center (POCC).
These are two great places to find wild orchids of Sabah. POCC houses a large collection of Sabah species orchids mostly rare and endemic to Sabah. We were slivating over them...hehe!
So, here are pictures of orchids from Nabalu and POCC.
