PNG is home to what I believe is one of the largest array of orchids than any other country in the world. The climate is just superb to enjoy flowers, and let me tell you, you don't even have to leave the station to enjoy the flowers.
When I first arrive, Elaine had made a little arrangement of flowers in a vase for me. I then noticed she did it at her house, and then would bring them to others. Well she got me started, now I am starting to think the table is not complete without a few flowers on it.
Biff, these are beautiful. Have you run into a very unusual fruit yet? My dad was in PNG during WWII. He used to talk about a fruit that was unbelievably delicious that tasted like several different fruits. I cannot remember exactly, but maybe mango, banana, orange.... several tropical fruits all in one fruit. He thought it was the coolest thing. Maybe you will encounter it.
