Bulbophyllum limbatum

Pictures of Bulbophyllum limbatum. The plant has compressed conical pseudobulbs that look a bit like 'xiao long bao'.

The flowers are reddish brown in colour on a long spike.

The conical pseudobulbs.

The pseudobulbs are spaced about 3 inches away from each other.



The original tree trunk that the plant was clinging to when it was collected.

Bulbophyllum gracillimum flowering

At first a clump of tiny buds form at the end of the inflorescence.



The individual buds opens up and the petals elongates.

The flower buds finally open fully.

Paphiopedilum concolor

This plant was bought from WL nursery many years back and consistently gives good quality flowers. The plant hasn't been treated well recently so the flowers are not very rounded.

The view of the whole plant.

Paphiopedilum philippinense flowered again

Unknown species

This is the orchid that i mentioned in an earlier post. This specimen was growing among the Bulb. vaginatum that i collected from a felled tree along upper bukit timah road. This looks like a bulbophylum without pseudobulb. Still waiting for it to flower so i can identify it.

Dendrobiums

The flower bud of Den. leonis.

Two angles of the same flower of Den. leonis (close-up).

Above - Plant of a Den. capra hybrid. This is a medium sized dendrobium.

Left - Close-up of flower. Looks a bit like capra in the beginning but soon the antelope ears will develop.

Phalaenopsis violacea, used to be called Malayan form

Two pictures of the same flower. This used to be called Phal. violacea Malayan form. Now, it is the true Phal. violacea.
