Kaling Lilin - Wild Orchids

Kaling Lilin - Wild Orchids

I salvaged this plant that was weeded out by the gardener during routine maintenance. This species is really rare or rather faces extinction in my neighbourhood now. It’s a rare sight if I could chance upon a cluster now. These beautiful greens have been removed and I wish they have been relocated and grown somewhere.

This pot of Kaling Lilin is now placed near to my neighbour’s Thai Rose for better lighting and condition. Let’s hope it will grow well.

Rare beautiful wild plant that I enjoy looking at, the only one I saw in Punggol Town, in fact in Singapore, which brought back fond childhood memories. Before ER and I could take more photos using another camera, the gardener had uprooted it just few days after ER took this photo! What a pity!

I was really delighted to have chanced upon this Thai rose that has fruits in Changi Village. In fact it was some fake pink hibiscus flowers tied on a plant that drew my attention to it. It was my first to see its fruits and the biggest plant I have ever seen outdoor.

I have two of them and they rarely bear flowers, most probably due to lack of sunlight. My neighbour’s Thai rose, which was place in a better lighting position, bears flowers frequently.

Here's a photo of my Thai rose., which is precious gift from my sister, PG.
