Coelogyne trinervis

Coelogyne trinervis is a free-flowering orchid found in Burma, Thailand, Malaysia, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Java and Sumatra.  I have three plants which are slightly different from one another.  One has huge pseudobulbs and leaves with pale flowers, one is a normal form and this one has smaller pseudobulbs with longer but narrower leaves.  I sometimes wonder whether this is a trinervis at all because the flowers do not have the musky fragrance. 

Paphiopedilum primulinum

This Paph is not a lowland species but somehow it is able to survive in Singapore's warm climate.  This plant came from Taiwan, which is now supplying a lot of species and hybrid Paphs to the rest of the world.  Taiwan is blessed with having a wide range of climatic conditions suitable for many Paph species.
