Mountain plants
A wide variety of wildflowers grow alongside the road coming down the mountain from Tulgao.
In the early morning it is really a beautiful walk but you want to get going before the sun gets too high in the sky and makes walking uncomfortable.
My gal has a thing for collecting wildflowers along the way.
There were pitcher plants growing in the shade which plucked and used as a vase for her collection.
I am told the local women harvest these plants and stuff them with rice and herbs and fry them at Christmas time.
It's a nice easy walk if you ever get out that way.
