Bromheadia finlaysoniana

This is the first time that I see this terrestrial orchid with flower. I was told it was once quite abundant in Singapore especially along the old railway track. Nowadays it can be found in a few remote areas of Singapore, such as Lower and Upper Pierce reservoir as well as Mount Faber Park. But you need to open your eyes to spot them when not in bloom.

This plant was seen on Saturday when. I went for my morning walk at the Singapore Botanic Gardens 

Vanda limbata

Recently I became interested in Vanda species especially those from Java and surrounding islands. Found this beautiful specimen of V. limbata blooming in the garden of our veteran orchid grower Mr Koh Keng Hoe.

Coelogyne species

This is Coelogyne pandurata. A very old plant in my collection.

This is Coelogyne mayeriana, also from a long time ago.

This plant of Coelogyne paltaste is a recent addition from Neo Cheng Soon nursery. 

All three plants have really similar looking flowers.
