Folder 4 - UP CLOSE with NATURE

Folder 4 contains two articles about the Tenom Orchid Centre. In March 1990, I went on a two-week, back-packing trip to Sabah together with some other members of the Malaysian Nature Society. The itinerary included a brief visit to the Tenom Agriculture Station and orchid center after our descent from the Gunung Trusmadi summit. These two articles were used in a tourism magazine, Fascinating Malaysia.

Malaysian vanilla in the making? (Did you know that vanilla flavouring comes from an orchid?)
