TIGER ORCHID (grammatophyllum speciosum)
The Tiger orchid (grammatophyllum speciosum) blooming at Poring Hot Spring a week ago. This largest orchid plant in the world can grow upto 3 metres and weigh few hundred kgs!
It only blooms every 3-5 years apparently, so, look out for it when you visit Poring Hot Spring, Kinabalu Park for the next 2 weeks or so. The flowers stay in bloom for about a month.
