Geranium - very much identified as mosquito repellent (exact translation)

Avacados

Love this collection of waterlily, you can just carry it back, the root and all in a plastic bag.

Another medicinal plant

This one is known as "Sarang Semut" translated as Ant Nest.

Again, its a medicinal herb plant.

Some polished seashells.

Is that a jaw of a shark?

I wanted to put all the pictures here but looking at my capacity (80% already occupied)
I doubt I may able to put everything here.

Hi James,
How I envy you being able to shop at this market. I suppose there is no problem taking them back to the mainland?
That's probably azalea. I am attracted to the plant in the sixth picture (the one after the weighing machine). Was the leaf thick?
Nice sea shells :-D What an interesting market.
Thank you! What a feast for the eyes and soul!
That looks like a fun place to go window shopping! So many temptations! I would have certainly walked away with some broms...and an orchid or two. That ant's nest thing looks pretty interesting too.
Barry - One of the Flight protocols forbid taking life plants on board - so, I didn't buy anything to bring back to the mainland.
Stephanie - Really? I can hardly notice it, I guess its a hoya or a vine plant - If I can remember, it resembles a plant like the jewel orchid.
Nandita - Most Welcome Nandita,
you should click on link on (Sabah Holidays).
You will be amazed at the whole total collection of all the other pictures which I have not uploaded here, the market scene, fish spa, canopy walk, hot springs, etc.
Floridagirl - really fun but also very hot & humid.. sometimes that really tires a lot.
Good thing, the passion had overcome the fatigue. (I saw some ants around the ant's nest thing - so, it could be really its nest)
Wow, lots of lovely plants. I would love to get some orchids, and water lily too (only if I have a pond :) Those shells are very pretty, but I bet they are expensive too!
Did you bring home any sea-shells from Sabah, James? They look so lovely!
