Finally, after much hemming & hawwing & dragging of feet (or is it fingers?), here's part 2 on Linggi House. Part 1 is
here.
Recollecting the throbbing headache & painful squinty eyes endured from looking-up plant information while preparing Part 1, I though I'll just concentrate on the flowers in Linggi House this time because..well, there are only mostly orchids and hibiscus there!! It should be a breeze to look up information on these right? Right?
Sigh.....I really didn't know that the Orchid family is the largest family in the whole plant kingdom!! It has Hundreds of genus, Thousands of species and *shudder* as many more hybrids and what's worst, new members are constantly being identified & added to the family tree! Eeeppp.....
So, errm I think I'll just put up the pictures and do minimal to none comments, okay :-)
Here are some of the flora & fauna I had the pleasure of meeting & admiring.
 |
| The ant & winged insect love it too! |
 |
| I think this is an albino! Notice the flower behind it. |
 |
| Phalaenopsis close-up |
 |
| Very dainty & small flowers-blooms all year |
|
|
 |
| Due to frilly 'lips', possibly a Cattleya? |
|
 |
| A terrestrial orchid but that frilly lips..is it a Cattleya? |
 |
| I like the striped markings..Tiger Orchid? |
 |
| Hibiscus - Malaysia's National flower |
 |
| White based Cat's Whiskers- a herb |
 |
| Frilly petals-the flower was BIG! |

And here they are, the "fauna" ie. our newest 'family' members :)
