Native to Mexico, Oxalis magnifica grows quite well in Thailand. I've just been collecting Oxalis and now I really love them!

Another donkey orchid. I have named it D aff magnifica, but I am not positive if this is correct.

There are 16 decks on which you could find anything you could possibly want, There is even a self-righting Billiard table for use in stormy weather!! The Liverpool Echo took interior shots which are breathtaking! I am definitely not posh enough to be allowed on board!!
