A Few Phalaenopsis bellina

These are a few Phal. bellina flowering now.

 All are of good rounded form, typical of bellinas from MH nursery.

Phalaenopsis Spica

This beautiful phalaenopsis is now flowering after i re-located it to a new spot.  Some other phals are also flowering again after being shifted around to make space for some new plants from the recent WOC in MBS.

Coelogyne trinervis?

This is a Coelogyne from Thailand with pale flowers which look exactly like those of C. trinervis without the brown patches.  The plant is huge, almost the size of C. celebensis. 

 

Paphiopedilum philippinense

This is one of my most free flowering Paph philippinense.  The flower spike appeared a couple of weeks ago and the flowers are almost all fully open now.

Dendrobium prenticei

This is a beautiful miniature Dendrobium found in North Eastern Australia.  There are many similar looking dendobiums all labelled with the same name.  I hppen to have three similar plants but this particular one seems to be more free flowering than the rest. The other two have more plump leaves.

Bulbophyllum blumei

An unknown bulbophyllum turned out to be B.blumei.  The plant became free flowering after reaching maturity. This small to medium sized orchid can be found from Philippines, Borneo, Malaysia, Sumatra all the way to Australia. A very widespread species growing in lowland as well as highland forests. 

I grow mine in a hanging basket filled with clay pellets.  I think it will also do well if mounted on a coconut husk pole.

Another miniature Bulbophyllum

I cannot remember where this Bulbophyllum was purchased from but i think it is most likely from Song Orchids quite sometime ago. It looks like B.comberi with flowers appearing from the middle of the rhizome connecting the pseudobulbs.
