A lot of the plants in the Penang botanical garden are labeled. These weren't. Any ideas? They are the size of coconuts. Brown color like coconuts (in the grocery store in the States, not grean like "real" ones). Hard like coconuts.

And these flowers are REALLY strange...

The first picture, I believe, those are tree dingleberries. Yup, you don't want to eat those! LOL The second is the catapillar-bottomous-lipious flower. Quite a find. These bloom like this when a piece from the first pic falls on them. Kinda like a fat lip of sorts. Hope this info is helpful! TMG :p

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.
