This is a Coelogyne from Thailand with pale flowers which look exactly like those of C. trinervis without the brown patches. The plant is huge, almost the size of C. celebensis.
Growing Paphiopedilums or Paphs is my main hobby. I also grow many other orchids such as phalaenopsis, dendrobium, coelogyne etc.

Paphiopedilum philippinense
This is one of my most free flowering Paph philippinense. The flower spike appeared a couple of weeks ago and the flowers are almost all fully open now.

Dendrobium prenticei
This is a beautiful miniature Dendrobium found in North Eastern Australia. There are many similar looking dendobiums all labelled with the same name. I hppen to have three similar plants but this particular one seems to be more free flowering than the rest. The other two have more plump leaves.
Bulbophyllum blumei
An unknown bulbophyllum turned out to be B.blumei. The plant became free flowering after reaching maturity. This small to medium sized orchid can be found from Philippines, Borneo, Malaysia, Sumatra all the way to Australia. A very widespread species growing in lowland as well as highland forests.
I grow mine in a hanging basket filled with clay pellets. I think it will also do well if mounted on a coconut husk pole.

Another miniature Bulbophyllum
I cannot remember where this Bulbophyllum was purchased from but i think it is most likely from Song Orchids quite sometime ago. It looks like B.comberi with flowers appearing from the middle of the rhizome connecting the pseudobulbs.

Phalaenopsis Corie
This is a hybrid between Phal. Corona and Phal. marie. Phal. Corona itself is a hybrid between Phal. amboinensis and Phal. cornu-cervi.
This plant was purchased from Song Orchids about a month ago.

Paphiopedilum niveum
Not many Paphs flowering at the moment. This is a niveum from Song Orchids which is just opening this morning. Paph. niveum is an easy Paph for our climate and do well if given about 50%-60% shade and good ventilation.
