Bloomin Orchids, Cups & Blinkin Short Trees

I must be one lucky bloke to have trekked up so high and be blessed with such a visual delight. Makes one forget...momentarily the aches and pain, not to mention the exhaustion. Throughout the trek i have kept my eye out for the flora and fauna and this place is like a wonderland with orchids and pitcher plants growing on the whole mountain.
A pitcher plant in full bloom and a gorgeous orchid standing to attention.

A more colourful variety and a beautiful white orchid.
A whole stem of another species of orchids and the tiniest little flower i manage to catch a glimpse of no more than 4mm petal to petal.
These are flowers from the bonsai trees with gnarled branches and an orchid full of bulbs waiting to bloom. Perhaps i need to come back here again to catch them blooming. It will be worth the trek i am sure.

Orchids in bloom on a tree. I seem to notice and appreciate such beauty that is abound in these mountains but curiously it just passes by my buddy Meow. He doesn't seem to notice or appreciate the flora and fauna but he notices worms, centipedes and millipedes.
Different stroke for different blokes i suppose.
