Coelogyne celebensis

This plant has not flowered for a very long time. In fact it almost died, partly due to orchid weevils and partly due to neglect.

Now its showing strong signs of a comeback.

Phalaenopsis pantherina

 This orchid is a close relative of P. cornu-cervi and P. lamelligera. While many other plants of P. pantherina has a more slender shape with denser patches of color, this particular plant's shape and color is very close to one of my P. lamelligera. However the flower of this pantherina is more than twice the size of the lamelligera. This one is slightly more than 2 inches from top to bottom.

Phalaenopsis lamelligera

 

Two different plants of Phal. lamelligera are flowering recently.  Very slide difference in the patterns because they originally came from the same plant which I bought many years ago from Mr. Lim Song in Penang.



Coelogyne paltastes

 

This plant of Coelogyne paltastes is flowering now with its beautiful green flowers. This orchid can be found in Sabah as well as Sarawak.

Phalaenopsis violacea

 


An intense version of P. violacea bought many years ago from Joseph Wu. This one is doing better than another one which is recovering from some fungal infection.
