Re: Amazing!

Yes it is. Seeing this blossom was one of my main hopes in going to Borneo. The blossoms are so hit or miss that seeing them when you are only in a place for a couple of days is a matter of luck so I was thrilled to see such a large and fresh (day 3 of flowering) one. I actually had included a day in Kuching to possibly see one. As it turns out there were not any blooming at Gunung Gading when I was in Kuching.
