I am going to start this off with a rare orchid, I saw in a National Park, near Trang ! (watch where you are walking!)

Interesting to to see a Canonball tree flower, Fabianfred, I saw that in Borneo last year with its Canon balls ! Not something I have seen here in the south of Thailand!

Po Wang Sang... Nathon, Samui, blooms around October.

Does this count? I was told this type is one of the most expensive trees in Thailand.

Opps some how posted that response with my post Tywais...

Hard to say what it is..... looks like a red flowered Frangapanii (sp) / Plumeria.... if it is I can't see why it would be expensive, easy to root from cuttings stuck in the ground... (if it is!)

Do you have a close up pic of flower?

I remember showing it to someone and apparently around that time a Thai star had 3 or 4 stolen at around a million Baht +.

I know the neighbors would sometimes steal cut a limb off hanging on the other side of the fence line and plant. We also took a cutting and planted it and seemed to grow fairly easily. Here is a 100% crop of the flower from the original of my previous post. They also change color to white/yellow/red/orange.

Changing colour from the same plant? that I have never seen! (yet) .... very interesting!!!

But a million baht I find hard to believe... wow!!!! It certainly is a Plumeria though.... some times I find Thai's get confused with thousands and millions (the zeros) ....

I would say maybe 1000 baht !!!
