They range from the stunningly beautiful that form the basis of the multi-million dollar trade in orchid plants and cut flowers to the excessively rare and valuable wild species that fuel the illegal trade in orchids collected from our forests to the rather dull and ordinary. Do you know why orchids are so diverse in their shape, colour, size, and scent? Its all for one purpose, sex! Orchids are largely dependent on their insect counterpart for reproduction in the wild although a few orchid species are self-pollinated. Ong Poh Teck, orchid research officer at FRIM, speciality is pollination and photography and he will take you into the secret sex life of Malaysian orchids caught in the act on video and in photographs. This meeting is also an opportunity to launch the glossy coffee table book on Wild Orchids of Peninsular Malaysia by Ong Poh Teck, Peter O'Byrne, Wendy Yong Sze Yee & Saw Leng Guan that FRIM has just produced. The authors will be on hand to sign copies at a special price of RM130 (usual price RM190). The book is richly illustrated with more than 450 accurately named native orchids and as the blurb on the dust jacket says it is an easy-to-read book with sex, crime, adventure and mystery.
