the temple and the flower market

walking to the flower market we are getting checked out
by this protector deity
rain drops pearl of the frangipani flowers
the small chinese temple at the entrance
lots of varieties
some I have not seen
some grow at the North coast of NSW
there are apparently over 60000 different orchids

Did you know the word orchide comes from the Latin
orchus, which means testicles. Well that 
is very far fetched
lovely packages of cigars with beetle nut matches etc
an old building in a temple, where the ground is
covered in sand. What a big sand pit
