Dendrobium Sherri Lim

A beautiful Dendrobium hybrid, Dendrobium Jaquelyn Concert X Dendrobium Kuranda Classic registered by MH nursery in 1998.

Phalaenopsis Taiping Ruby x Phalaenopsis Tan Lee Moy

I bought this phal from Song Orchids last year.  The plant came from Mr. Robert Ang, a breeder in Malaysia.  The plant was labelled R477 on the clay pot and a check with his website showed the plant's parentage as Phal. Taiping Ruby x Phal. Tan Lee Moy and it was recently named Phalaenopsis Permata Rosmah Mansor .

The plant is very free flowering and has not stopped flowering since i bought it.  The color is a deep reddish purple with darker bars of the same color.

Phalaenopsis violacea var Malaya

This plant was bought from Woon Leng Nursery many years back.  The flower is bigger than the sumatra variety. 

Phalaenopsis Valentinii 'Red'

This plant has not stopped flowering since i bought it last year.  Like its parents P.violacea and P.cornu-cervi, the flowers appear one at a time and can continue flowering for a long time. 

Phalaenopsis violacea var sumatra

This violacea has not stopped flowering since i bought it and i think the color of the flower has improved slightly.

Bulbophyllum lobii

This plant was bought from Song Orchids almost a year ago.  It finally produced a flower bud sometime last week and the bud opened 2 days ago.  This picture was taken yesterday morning.

This variety of B.lobii from Sabah is orange in color while the west Malaysian variety is yellowish in color. 

Paph concolor and praestans

Recently, many of my paphs are infected with the crown rot bacteria.  Many healthy plants started turning soft and mushy and died.  The base of the older leaves would first show a patch of soft brown which then spread to the upper portion of the leaf and other leaves as well.

After many sessions of dunking and spraying with Physan, some of the plants survived and are begining to flower again.  Paph concolor is one of them.  The flower size and shape is not as good as before but hopefully this will improve.

This Paph praestans did not get attaked by the bacteria but another plant was.  This plant flowers annually without fail.
