Some Nice Flowers

Another plant of blue violacea flowered.  This is the first flower for this plant so I am very happy that the flower turned out to be quite big which means this plant has good potential.

 
A sharp contrast to the blue of the violacea above is the cornu-cervi var. chataladae.  This is not the darkest red in my collection of chattaladeas but it is a good one nevertheless.
 
 
Adding some elegance is the flower of Coelogyne trinervis.  But frankly i'm not even sure it is a trinervis because the plant is huge compared to my other trinervis and this one has no musky fragrance at all. 
 
 
The ones with the strangest fragrance has to be the flowers of Dendrobium anosmum.  This plant is e flowering out of the usual season because the other plants are not in flower at all.  They usually flower at the same time, much like the pigeon orchids.
 
 
Dendrobiums really comes in all shapes and sizes.  Hard to believe that this little flower of Dendrobium prenticei is related to the one above.  I have three plants of prenticei but this one seem to be flowering all the time. The other two hardly flowers at all.  This size of this flower is about 2-3mm across.
