Flower Power

ORCHID AND BUTTERFLY FARM CHIANG MAI (24-03-2551)

These orchids are the most beautiful flowers kept in hanging baskets with their roots simply dangling down. The orchids are watered twice a week. Fertiliser is delivered by the watering system. There is NO SOIL used! Thailand has about 860 orchid species, 473 of which can be found in and around Chiang Mai province.




Butterflies flitted around, this butterfly sat long enough for me to take a photo.



Lunch is served for the butterflies. Chiang Mai pineapple delicious!
