These Are Flowering Again

This Phal. Princess Kaiulani x George Vasquez is flowering again. This shot was taken with flash so the colour is close to the real thing.

This large flower type of Den anosmum has been with me for a long time. It was a gift from my classmate Eng T.W when i used to visit his house when we were studying at TK Tech. This Den. was part of his brother's collection. The flowers usually appear around CNY and the fragrance is very strong. This alba form is also flowering. This is a solo flower on a cane but a few other canes are now developing flower buds as well.

Paph. Shireen's Flowering Again.

This time round it is coming back with a vengence. It produced 2 flower stalks recently and strangely, this time insteadly of producing the flowers one at a time, it is carrying 2 on a stalk. Maybe it can even carry all 3 on a stalk then it will be more spectacular. I just had to take it out of its spot for a photo session.






After putting the pot back onto its usual spot, i snapped another shot with flash on to show the beautiful colour of the flower in its original position.

Phal. Mok Choi Yew


This plant of Phal. Mok Choi Yew was from MH nursery a few years ago. The flowers have very nice purple spots and the leaves are broad, long and thick almost like gigantea's. This shy flower bloomed around Chinese New Year (CNY) time and is still fresh today.

Paph concolor

A nice concolor from my favourite place. Just re-potted this plant not too long ago.

Haraella retrocalla

This orchid is endemic to Taiwan. It has a beautiful maroon patch on a large lip. Flowers quite frequently here.

Dendrobium Sherri Lim

This is Dendrobium Sherri Lim. Created by MH nursery and named by me.

Cymbidium ensifolium


This is another ensifolium bought during SGF2008. This is a pretty mutated form with petals taking on the coloration of the lip.
