I have another photo of it, and it's hard to tell if the lower figure is piggybacking the more grotesque one. There is a similar one nearby, which seems to have a female figure riding on the shoulders of another figure. Happy to email the photo to you if you are interested.Marisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07414496377660313372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8291909857819338108.post-57353299394223120372012-10-28T10:51:38.668+10:002012-10-28T10:51:38.668+10:00Wow!

I have a lovely big dendrobium (Sydney rock orchid) in my poinciana, but the dendrobium beetles get stuck into it, and it's too high for me to be able to do anything about it.Marisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07414496377660313372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8291909857819338108.post-38133299531116014972012-10-22T11:56:13.698+10:002012-10-22T11:56:13.698+10:00You're right.

When I was in Thailand we went to Phukett and visited some of the orchid growers there- it was amazing. One thing I found interesting while there was the two places I visited were both owned by Texans. I walked in and a big labrador greeted me followed by the owners who said they had gone there to visit and never left. I could see why..... I hope you are having a great time - from the photos it appears so!!! I have never been to Indonesia but it looks incredible!khakihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10632954199885871025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8291909857819338108.post-90309096488176774932012-10-16T21:47:35.870+10:002012-10-16T21:47:35.870+10:00beautiful garden :-X
