This is an extremely beautiful Dendrobium found in Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia.  Bought it from WL nursery many years back.  It flowered lst year but i think i did not manage to get good pictures of it.  Beutiful orange-yellow flower with a deep maroon patch.

Nice violacea

This plant belongs to MH nursery.  It is a very nice Phal. violacea with strong, even color.

Coelogyne mayeriana

I bought this plant from WL nursery about six months ago and it flowered recently.  The plant has pseudobulbs which are almost half a foot apart so it is not really suitable for confined spaces.  It would be most happy if allowed to climb up a tree branch.

A Few Plants Of Phalaenopsis amboinensis 'Common'

I recently acquired a few different plants of Phal. amboinensis 'Common'
First plant has quite beautiful flowers with dense bars although the bars are thinner and the flower shape is average.  Hopefully the shape will improve when the plant is bigger.
The next plant produces huge flowers with very clean and bold bars but the bars are not so dense.  The flower shape is better than the one above but maybe because the plant is very well grown.


The flower below belongs to a plant of Phal. amboinensis 'Nicole' AM/AOS which is an award winning amboinensis 'Common'. This plant has a bigger and rounder petal and brighter color.


The next flower belongs to another plant of amboinensis 'Nicole' but this one has more flower count and the flowers are bigger.

Dendrobium indivisum var. lampangense

This Dendrobium has small flowers which are pure greenich yellow in color.  This particular plant is from Thailand.  The typical Den. indivisum has cinnamon colored stripes whereas var. lampangense has pure color.

Phalaenopsis from Yih-Cheng nursery

Got this from Yih-Cheng nursery a couple of years back when they participated in the Garden Tech Festival in Hort Park.  This is one of those hybrids with a complicated parentage and i am not even sure of its name.  Just enjoy it for its beauty.
