Phalaenopsis cornu-cervi var. aurea

 This came as a surprise when one morning i discovered that one of my newly acquired plants of cornu-cervi turned out to be golden in color.  

Bromheadia finlaysoniana

This is the first time that I see this terrestrial orchid with flower. I was told it was once quite abundant in Singapore especially along the old railway track. Nowadays it can be found in a few remote areas of Singapore, such as Lower and Upper Pierce reservoir as well as Mount Faber Park. But you need to open your eyes to spot them when not in bloom.

This plant was seen on Saturday when. I went for my morning walk at the Singapore Botanic Gardens 

Vanda limbata

Recently I became interested in Vanda species especially those from Java and surrounding islands. Found this beautiful specimen of V. limbata blooming in the garden of our veteran orchid grower Mr Koh Keng Hoe.

Coelogyne species

This is Coelogyne pandurata. A very old plant in my collection.

This is Coelogyne mayeriana, also from a long time ago.

This plant of Coelogyne paltaste is a recent addition from Neo Cheng Soon nursery. 

All three plants have really similar looking flowers. 

Phalaenopsis violacea fma magenta

Another plant of this variety is blooming after a long period of neglect. Very intense colour and comes with a spicier fragrance compared to P. bellina.

Phalaenopsis violacea var. indigo

An intensely colored specimen of P. violacea var. indigo.  This variety appeared on the market many years ago but the first few generations were of pale indigo coloration. Recently more intense colored version is available at much lower price.

Vanda tassellata

Vanda tessellata has many colour variations. This one is brownish-orange in colour and has a similarly colored lip. It has a strange smelling fragrance which I am not sure how to describe. Online description says "lilac".
