Episod Jalan-jalan kali ini kita ke Utara Tanah Air - Perlis Indera Kayangan.

This time, Jalan-jalan episode  to Perlis Indera Kayangan, the northern state of Peninsular  Malaysia


Pada 7 April yang lalu, selepas Pameran dan pertandingan Orkid Bulalan Persatuan Orkid Perlis, OdD dan OC sempat melawat ke KB Orchid Horticulture. Lokasi kebun orkid ini agak ke dalam juga, jika yang tak pernah sampai pasti tak akan jumpa. Lokasinya terletak di Jalan Kaki Bukit iaitu jalan ke Wang Kelian. Pemiliknya pesara guru, bagi peminat orkid yang selalu ke pameran dan pertandingan yang di adakan di seluruh Malaysia pasti kenal dengan Cikgu Choe. Cikgu Choe  ini kira orang lama dalam bidang orkid ni...jadi banyak juga koleksi yang 'classic' dan 'evergreen' ada di kebun nya.

On 7th April after finished the Perlis monthly orchid show OC and OdD went to the Orchid nursery nearby, KB Orchid Horticulture. The owner is retirement teacher known Cikgu Choe. This orchid nursery situated at Jalan Kaki Bukit, the way to Wang Kelian, Perlis. Not easy to find this nursery because is quite far from the main road. To find this nursery you need to call the owner. This nursery is quite big and many special orchid you can find it here, most of the are classic hybrid and evergreen collections. It really worth it if you can come here.

Berikut adalah gambar-gambar yang sempat di ambil semasa di KB Orchid Nursery ini.
Here are some pictures OdD captured on that day in KB Orchid Horticulture.

    Thanks Makarimi for your suggestion on the Grammatho.

    Few things not clear - please help:

    Got few questions for you:
    1) Since now is the blooming season.
    Should I continue to water everyday (usual) or stop watering.

    2) Fertiliser - should I spray fertiliser now - once a week without watering?
    What you suggest now I should do to see the blooms to start showing?

    Thanks for your suggestion.


  3. James> Thanks for visiting. I already answered your questions in your blog.
