Dendrobium aggregatum

The flowers of Den. aggregatum are really pretty. They are bright yellow with a dark orange centre. Looks so delicious. I hope i don't have to wait too long for the next flowering. This also proves my theory that things usually happen when you are not looking. I would sometimes keep on observing a certain plant to see if it is going to flower soon (usually no result). But it is usually plants that i overlook that gives the most pleasant surprise (that's life).

Phal. Princess Kaiulani from Taiwan

This plant was bought when i visited Taiwan last October. It is not really different from MH nursery's hybrid except for the shape. The plant that i chose from MH's nursery is the yellow form with no markings. There were also plants with some yellow bars but i really liked the pure yellow form. It is also much rarer cos most of the plants have barred flowers.

Phal. Princess Kaiulani "Yellow"

This particular variety of Princess Kaiulani was created by MH nursery a few years ago using bellina "alba" and amboinensis "flava" after MH nursery acquired the amboinensis "flava" from Mr. David Lim. Amboinensis "flava" subsequently found its way into the hands of many other local and taiwanese nurseries so today there are many similar crossings made and the market is flooded. Crossings with good form and colour still command very good price.

Unexpected Dendrobium farmeri and aggregatum Flower Spike

A week ago, my Dendrobium farmeri decided to throw out a flower spike from an old cane. This was quite a surprise because the plant just flowered a couple of months back. This dendrobium is suppose to be very seasonal.

Another very seasonal orchid is the Dendrobium aggragatum. Could hardly believe my eyes when i see the flower buds. When i bought this plant last year, i thought it would be the last time i see the flowers because this plant is well known to stay dormant in our singaporean climate. Somehow the weather here just isn't right.

Phalaenopsis Tabasco Tex

This Phal was brought in by Woon Leng, bought by Law MH, then sold to me. It is a very beautiful plant with strong, bright markings. It did not flower for a long time since i transferred it from my old place and i totally forgot about it until it started flowering again recently.

Phalaenopsis David Lim

A very interesting Phal from Taiwan. It was very popular in Taiwan a couple of years ago but recently lost its charm there. It has found new admirers in Singapore recently when Song Orchid brought it in last year (before the garden festival).

Phalaenopsis Sogo Sun

This is a very stunning Phal which i bought from Song Orchid a few years ago. It constantly produces new flower spikes and old flower spikes would sometimes burst into live again and produce a few more flowers. The flowers are in my opinion, of award winning quality in terms of shape, colour and presentation.
