There is now a Thai tour company offering tours to see the Thailand Parrot Flower. I just got an explanation about the tour. The company is Tourdoi in Thailand. They offer tours to see all sorts of plants and now have a tour specifically to see the Parrot Flower (Impatiens psittacina) in habitat. If you go to their homepage you'll find a bunch of plant photos. Those are plants you can see on various tours. Click on the photo you want to see and read about the tour. Unfortuanately the Parrot Flower tour is explained in Thai, I've asked the company for a translation. This is the link to the plant tours they offer: http://www.tourdoi.com/general/flower/main_page.htm

The Parrot Flower can be found on the right. Click on that photo then click on the link at the bottom of the next page to see the tour. There are several new photos of the plant from different angles. You will have to scroll down a bit but these are photos not previously seen on the web. One shows people walking around the flower. If people still believe this was a "fake" flower they need to explain that to the people paying to go on the tour. But I get requests all the time from people who would like to go see it in the wild so I'm sure there are people who would like to have this link.

If anyone takes the tour in Thailand I'd love to see more photos!

Thanks!
