Bulbophyllum auratum

My Bulbophyllum auratum decided to throw out seven flower stalks recently.  Six of them carries pink flower while one stalk of flower is yellow in color.  I must have placed two different plants together on the same piece of tree bark.  A few months ago, i was searching for the yellow auratum cos i remember having one.  But i just couldn't find it.  Now i know where it is.

This Morning

These are some other flowers which i photographed this morning. 


Phalaenopsis bellina
Phalaenopsis cornu-cervi var chattaladae
Bulbophyllum plumatum
Dendrobium lamellatum

Paphiopedillum bellatulum

Another Paph.bellatullum flowering recently.


The constant rain for the past few months did a lot of damage to my paphs.  Many of them suffered bacteria rot almost at a rate of one leaf a day and i lost many plants including some which i had been growing for more than ten years.  The damage is brought under control only with lots of Physan and keeping the affected plants dry and away from the others. 

Phalaenopsis violacea

This is a nice violacea bought during the WOC in 2011.

Recently, there is an increase in the number of nice violaceas from Taiwan.  These plants have good color and shape and the price is reasonable.
