After visiting the Elephant Camp, we had lunch at the Bai Orchid & Butterfly Farm. As I love orchids and try to keep a few alive at home, Charlie and I found the way they grow here very interesting. Some of them were simply hung on a wire with their roots exposed to the air and growing/blooming profusely, while others were planted in half coconut shells with a bit of moss ~ beautiful. (The constant fans blowing mist, and koi ponds and fountains keep the humidity high for these delicate beauties.) They also use a special process to preserve the actual orchid flower, (as well as butterfly wings), to make into jewelry pieces edged with 14k gold plating.
