Renanthera auyongii

This is the plant which known habitat has been wiped out in place of a newly built hospital. A fate which is quite interesting to learned. A species need to be lost forever in an effort to save another.

This one is from a recent bloom in my collection after 2 years or so. It is quite hardy and tolerate much if remain overlooked for some times. Endermic to Sarawak, this is real deal of silent beauty.

Dendrobium langkawiense

Orchids are so unique in their own way. One such, is featured below taken its name from a famous legendary island located in north Malaysia.

Its habitat may be limited only to limecrop hills in this island to the extent of very small area of mainland Malaysia.

If not in flower, the plant may be seen like a clump of dead grass. The brownish twigs of its leafless stem are prominent sight of this plant. A cycle of new growth may take place after rainy seasons but very soon drop their leaves after the stem reach maturity.
