Phalaenopsis violacea 'Blue'

Finally, a very nice blue violacea from Taiwan.  The shape of the flower as well as the lip is that of violacea rather than between violacea and bellina.

Phalaenopsis amboinensis 'Common'

A very good amboinensis 'Common' with dark, bold and strong markings.  I have been looking for a plant like this for a very long time.  The two flowers on the flower spike still show the same color and intensity so hopefully there is no color fading problem.  Most nurseries in singapore would label such plants as 'Not For Sale'.

Paph lowii and Paph haynaldianum

These two Paphs look so similar but there are differences between them.  One of the very distinct difference is that the flower stalk of haynaldianum is more hairy (hirsute).  There are other differences but i cannot manage to get a frontal picture of the Paph haynaldianum because the flower is pointing towards the back and i have difficulty accessing it.  I try not to take the pot out for photographing because there are just too many obstacles in the way and i many break something.

Coelogyne trinervis

This is the second time this orchid flower after i bought it.  It has very beautiful flowers with a masky scent. 

Coelogyne asperata

A very beautiful Coelogyne colected from the forests of Malaysia.  This is a huge coelogyne with long leaves on big pseudobulbs.  This plant came from Mr. Lim Song in Penang who collects a lot of native malaysian plants.

Bulbophyllum lobii

This beautiful orange-colored Bulbophyllum lobii comes for Sabah.  It can be found in Malaysia, Borneo as well as Philippines.

Paphiopedilum glaucophyllum

This is another Paph that is suitable for Singapore's warm weather.  If grown well, this orchid will keep on flowering for a long time.  This Paph was used in the past to produce many beautiful hybrids such as paph Shireen and the strong glaucophyllum influence can be seen in such hybrids.  Most of the hybrids produced using glaucophyllum can be grown well in Singapore without air-conditioning.  My friend used to grow his Paph Shireen in a 2nd Storey balcony in Pasir Ris and we all know how warm it can be in Pasir Ris.
