On the way up, the tram will pass a temple and not long after that on a huge boulder you will see this mess of Dendrobiums? I cannot confirm cos there were no flowers. You have to see it for yourself to appreciate the size of this boulder and the immensity of this massive clump. I only managed to snap a close-up of s small section.
This orchid is everywhere. As common as Dendrobium crumenatum of the lowland. You see it immediately when you get off the tram and on lots of other old trees.
Grammatophyllum speciosum (Tiger orchid) growing on an old tree. I read that Singapore used to have 2 of these plants sighted; one in Ubin and one in Tuas (when the police wore short pants).
This should be a Flickingeria?
This tree has a large clump of cymbidium on it together with other orchids. Cymbidiums are so common in Penang that some baby plants are just a few feet from ground level on roadside trees in the city. I've even seen a huge clump of vandaceous orchid on top of a tree right in the middle of the city.
Another bunch of orchids on a tree outside Bellevue Hotel.
Tree with lots of Orchids near the canon.
