A Visit to D-Paradise (Part 4)

Nepenthes or better known as the Pitcher Plant is quite widely available in Malaysia. Apparently, monkeys were spotted to drink water from these pitcher plants, hence it is also called the Monkey Cup. Below are several varieties of Pitcher Plants found in D-Paradise.









Carnivorous Plants have always been fascinating. Even my dogs think so. I used to have this genus called sarracenia. It was beautiful and probably tasted good too. Well, my dogs are occasionally herbivorous.

A Visit To D-Paradise (Part 3)

I went to D-Paradise with the hope to learn something from their success in fruit farming. It turned out that my heart was captured by the animals instead.


An adorable baby bunny in the rabbit enclosure.


The deers posed for me but how come they don't smile like my dogs do?


Posing back to back but still no smiles.


"Deers, put your face together, closer, closer, ...click! Good boys!"


2 male ostriches above with the exact same pose.


Oh, see! They are smiling!!!
The female ostrich in the centre was about to hug me. 
Or was she trying to peck off my camera?


An ostrich has only 2 toes.


This is an extremely friendly goat.
While others shied away, this one followed us around.

A Visit to D-Paradise (Part 2)

We were served refreshing, iced Passion Fruit drink upon arrival at D-Paradise.
Then we started our journey.


Loads of Passion Fruits hung above us beautifully along the walkway.


While others plucked passion fruits to eat, I picked the wrinkled, rotten, moldy ones from the ground.
I am more interested to grow the passion fruit than to eat it.


Many people flocked towards this Surinam Cherry tree, attracted by the bright red fruits.
Unfortunately, it didn't taste as good as it looked.


Since the Surinam Cherry was too sourish to eat, one child fixed a fruit on a cactus plant. Other tourists thought it was a flowering cactus and started snapping photos. I felt obliged to explain, of course.

Below are photos of a cactus garden.






Hey! This is a real red cactus flower. Not a surinam cherry!!! I looked around but there were no one in sight to inform. All the tourists have left without noticing this stunning cactus.


Stay tuned. More photos coming up...

A Visit to D-Paradise (Part 1)

Today we visited this place by the name of D-Paradise. It is a tropical fruit world and Aboriginal Native Village. They have about 800 varieties of fruit trees. I have many interesting photos to share. For today, I want to show this unique house that I took at the aboriginal village.

Why is the house upside down?
