The constant rain for the past few months did a lot of damage to my paphs. Many of them suffered bacteria rot almost at a rate of one leaf a day and i lost many plants including some which i had been growing for more than ten years. The damage is brought under control only with lots of Physan and keeping the affected plants dry and away from the others.
This is a darker variety of Phal. Seletar Tiger, a cross made by MH nursery. The typical Phal. Seletar Tiger has flowers whose color fades afer it opens for a few days. The variety 'Hot Chocolate' however, does not suffer from color fading.
This is a beautiful Phal. amboinensis 'Common' bought during the recent WOC. Compared to the normal amboinensis 'Common' this plant has flowers with darker and bolder bands. It is a pure 'Common' form and not a cross with the yellow form of amboinensis.
