Borneo Orchids Expedition

The Borneo Orchids Expedition focuses on visiting four locations to explore Borneo’s amazing diversity of orchids; the Bako National Park (home to lowland heathforest orchids), Mount Kinabalu (for highland and ultrahighland orchids), Mulu National Park (for lowland rainforest, limestone growing and highland orchids) and Mount Trus Madi (for spectacular mossy cloud forests dripping with highland orchids).

Although orchids are central to this expedition, the itinerary is balanced with many of Borneo’s other wildlife highlights, including a plethora of carnivorous pitcher plants, proboscis monkeys, vast caves, canoe trips through lowland rainforest and, with luck, open Rafflesia and Amorphophallus blooms.

Rhizanthes lowii - a close encounter with a rare parasitic flower

Rhizanthes lowii is a species of parasitic flowering plant without leaves, stems, roots, or photosynthetic tissue. They grow on roots of the Tetrastigma vine. They are only found in the tropical forests of Borneo. With the largest flowers in Rhizanthes, the flowers are from 25 to 43 cm across. They are endothermic, not only producing their own heat, but they also have the rare ability to regulate their own temperature.
A documentary filmed & presented by botanist Dr. Alastair Robinson.

Jala-jalan ke Habitat Anggrek Tanah Plocoglottis acuminata

Lokasi tujuan Orchid Trip kali ini adalah Riam Pancarek, Desa Sungai Bening, Kabupaten Sambas. Sesuai dengan nama desanya, Riam Pancarek memiliki air sungai yang bening dan segar, tidak heran jika sungai ini dijadikan sumber air baku untuk wilayah sekitarnya.
Lingkungan alami dengan air yang mengalir deras adalah habitat yang sangat disukai anggrek untuk tumbuh dengan baik, hal ini terbukti dengan banyaknya jenis anggrek yang teramati dalam perjalanan ini, namun hanya beberapa spesies yang saya kenali, jadi hanya beberapa spesies tersebut yang mendapatkan keterangan dalam video ini.
Over all, riam ini recommended untuk dikunjungi apakah untuk sekedar jalan-jalan atau untuk melihat berbagai jenis anggrek alam yang terdapat di lokasi ini.
