A Blue Admiral butterfly sunning itself

A Pea Blue butterfly

 A Chestnut Tiger

 A Chocolate Tiger

 A pretty Delias belladona swift and lofty on the wings...


 A skipper perching under the shades of a bough...

 the mountain Straits Rhododendron


developping buds of a rhododendron

A delicate dendrobium orchid on a mossy carpet

 The red bells of a rhododendron

 A pretty orange-coloured berry

 An exposed mossy trunk with a lot of orchids...

A Nepenthes on a mossy trunk...

 The mossy forest floor has carpets of small red berries like these...

 leaf buds were everywhere, almost like spring...

curled up frond of a tree fern...
