Just 15 minutes detour from the main road, we reached this pristine mountain stream in South Thailand. The cool caressing creek, the ceaseless cries of the cicadas .... and I am a child again.

Actually Habenaria rhodocheila is supposed to be pink flowering and some taxonomists have a new name for this yellow form - H. xanthocheila. This is the first time I have seen the yellow form which is more uncommon than the pink ones. Both of them are seasonal and will go dormant for a few months each year, leaving behind a smallish tuber in the ground.

I look forward to reading more of your articles and posts in the future, so I've bookmarked your blog. When I see good quality content, I like to share it with others. So I've created a backlink to your site. Thank you!…
WOW!!! These are incredible shots! I have not seen either of these species. I am fascinated by the fish in your hand. And the woods is dark and looks to be a fascinating area for wildlife. Nicely captured.
The fishes have modified suction fins that help them anchor to the rocks - thats why they look rather odd.
WOW! all the things and Habenaria here are alive and exquisite. This forest is fresh.
