Faizi and Ng Suang Beng came back from Cameron Highland on 20 Dec 2007 with a set of photos of Balanophora as part of his project. They have visited a new site near the border of Kelantan and I have positively identifiied the flowers as the Balanophora fungosa that I have not seen it before. That set of photos were then posted in my Flickr collection and these were selected by the University of British Columbia (UBC) Botany Photo of the Day for today's entry.
I visited the site again last weekend, with the two chemists Prof Dato' Dr Noramly Muslim and Prof Dato' Dr Laily Bin Din and Faizi as a guide. And sure equiped with my trusted Sony A100 and 100mm macro, we came out with 5 gigabytes of superb close-up photos. We managed to get male flowers as well this time around (Suan Beng) could not get good males then.
Watch out for our Flickr, coming soon.
