Randy...you would have gone berserk!!!! The bush were mostly Melastomes...Nepenthes all over the place....the birds are magnificent (I actually saw a Trogon up close in the wild!!!!)...sigh.

Mount Kota Kinabalu early in the a.m. from hotel lanai...before the clouds came to hide it.

Edited to say that the hills are covered with Medinilla Magnifica....just covered. And mixed in with them is the brightest dark blue morning glory I have ever seen. A friend is sending me the photos HE took, so I can post more!!!
