Thanks Peter and Charles for your replies. The leeches are bound to be a highlight of the trip! (Are leeches CITES protected or can I drop a couple off over Singapore on the way home???) ;-)
I am a bit perplexed as Dr Cribb's paph book says that Paph Sanderianum flowers in the wild in March and April. Dr Braem's books says that they flower (in the wild) on and off throughout the year (unusual for paphs), Jan, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Aug, Sep, Oct & Nov,... yet the guides in the national park there are telling me that they have just finished flowering and are not expected to flower again for a full year. Who do i believe? The experts, or the people who live there (who possibly may not know what they are talking about??) I'm sure that there must be someone on the list who has been. I'm ready (reluctantly) for the leeches, but would love to hear of any other experiences or worthwhile destinations in the Borneo area. Cheers Kim I am planning a trip next April to Borneo, particularly to see paphs growing at Kinabalu, and paph sanderianum in it's natural habitat in Mulu National Park. If anyone has been here and can offer any advice, or recommend particular points of interest around Sarawak and Sabah (orchids or otherwise), I would be pleased to hear from you. Thanks Kim Auckland, NZ.
