Dendrobium truncatum

I recently remounted this miniature dendrobium and attached it onto a tree branch.  It is doing quite well and flowers all the time.  I think the improved ventilation is good for the plant.  I like this dendrobium because it has a cute little pseudobulb about the size of a small shallot and the flowers are also small and cute.
 
 

Coelogyne trinervis

This is an easy orchid to grow in singapore and flowers frequently in our climate.  This plant came from Chiang Mai and this is its first flowering here.  Unlike my other trinervis plants, this one has flowers with white instead of cream colored petals.  The markings on the lip is also deeper in color.

Paphiopedilum parishii

I bought this plant recently when i visited the Singapore Garden Festival at Suntec City.  Hopefully it will be able to grow well and flower again soon.

Phalaenopsis lamelligera

This very beautiful Phal. lamelligera has been flowering for a few months already.  Just like Phal. cornu-cervi, it keeps flowering for months as long as the plant is kept well nourished.

Aerides lawranceae

This plant was bought from Mr. Lim Song of Penang about one and a half years ago.  It is the second time this year that the plant is flowering.
I have never been fond of Vandaceous orchids because they take up too much space and i am not really a fan of big flowers.  However, i think Aerides is a good exception.

Paphiopedilum leucochilum

This plant was also bought about the same time as the godefroyae alba.  It has very nice flowers with striking color.  However the price is much lower than the godefroyae 'alba'.

Paphiopedilum godefroyea 'alba'

I recently purchased 2 plants of Paph. godefroyae 'alba' and this is the one with the flower that still looks fresh enough for a picture.
