Default Calanthe vestita

About 600 photos to get through, Wendy. Will post many of these eventually.
Roy/Wendy,
The mountings in the Au Yong nursery were shafts/poles wrapped with coconut
fibre.
Trivia:- if you're familiar with the novel "Orchid Fever" by Eric Hansen,
you will be able to associate this nurseryman and the story / chapter about
pollen theft at an orchid show.

A great shot Peter & thanks ever so much for sharing your wonderful
pictures of your tour.
I am curious about the mountings they used for the Dendrobiums. What are
they made of?
Do you know?
Cheers Wendy

Calanthe vestita.
This series of pics were photographed at the Orchidwood's nursery,
Kuching.
Thanks to Au Yong and his family for their hospitality and assistance
around
this special lot of orchids.
I am not definite about the identity of some of these species, so do help
out
where you can.
I hope you see other shots of these same plants when Eric and John take
the
podium.
Enjoy

Peter
