My favourite shot from this whole series... a water lily.




Tiny orchid




Ginger plant flower?




Ladies Shoe Orchid

Good Widow (Janda Baik) - Buggies

Have to be pretty nimble to land one something vertical.

I like this pose :)



Such cute features..

Bring up the fire!!

The hotter the fire, the better the food will taste. Of course it depends on what you are cooking. In this case, Hokkien Fried Noodles are best if you have fires that will make a rocket booster proud!
