Giant "mouse trap" orchid, Plocoglottis hirta from a limestone outcrop

This is my first time to find the inflorescence of giant "mouse trap" orchid, Plocoglottis hirta from a limestone outcrop near Bau. It is called "mouse-trap" cos the lip of the flower resembles of a mouse trap.




The inflorescence is more than a meter tall!!!


The leaf is very big (compared to other species of mouse-trap orchid) and got short hairs on the surface.

The red colored leaves of a small tree.
