Besides Wild Orchids

Ok! Finally done with wild orchid shopping, here are few more pictures taken during our visit to Down Below the Wind.

View of Mount KinabaluBeautiful Mount Kinabalu (4,095 metres high) at dawn, viewed from Kota Kinabalu. More info from Wikipedia on Mount Kinabalu here.
Quote from Wikipedia here...
Significantly, Mount Kinabalu is well-known worldwide for its tremendous botanical and biological species biodiversity, with high levels of endemism (i.e. species which are found only within Kinabalu Park and are not found anywhere else in the world). As examples, it has one of the world’s richest orchid flora with over 800 species.......
WOW! I purposely bold and enlarged that 800 species....awesome!!!
