Visit to Cameron Highlands

[paphioboy]

Haven't been up there in 8 years. Paid a visit to the nursery of the largest private collections of paphs and other orchids in Malaysia. The grower often takes home prizes for the entire paph category in our shows. Interesting to see species from different sections thriving under the same environment. He has many impressive specimen plants, particularly multiflora and barbata species.

Dayanum



Tonsum



Magic Lantern


Superbiens var curtisii (front shot turned out crappy)



Bellatulum


Barbatum

Villosum


Kolopakingii

Nice pics - what is the name of the Nursery or privat collection and where is it?

 

[paphioboy]

Appletonianum



Chamberlainianum


Hirsutissimum


Kolopakingii in sheath


Spicerianum hybrid

 

[paphioboy]

A killer esquirolei


Callosum



An interesting hybrid, the owner says it is villosum x roth, but I think henryanum x cochlo is more likely...?




What looks like the very old hybrid Harrisianum (barbatum x villosum) or similar


Urbanianum


And a rarity, victoria-mariae. The plant is large and mottled.

Thou Sun nursery operated by Mr Sin Chan Wah and his wife, Catherine. They are open by appointment only, as the location is accessible only by four-wheel drive.

How was the 4wd ride in to the nursery?

Bumpy, but not too bad. Went past several vegetable farms on steep slopes.
