Phalaenopsis violacea

 


An intense version of P. violacea bought many years ago from Joseph Wu. This one is doing better than another one which is recovering from some fungal infection. 

Dendrobium anosmum


Fruit flies are attracted to the intense scent of the flowers.  The recent rainy spell might have triggered the flowering.

Paphiopedilum concolor


This concolor flowered a couple of days ago. It's one of those with a line down the middle of the petals.  I believe this variety is called concolor var. straiatum.

Dwarf dracaena species

 This is an unknown species of dwarf dracaena from Thailand.  It will produce a flower stalk from the top when conditions are right.



Impatiens phengklaii

 This is a plant from Thailand. The famous plant with a bird-shaped flower when viewed from the side. But I prefer the front view.

Cymbidium ensifolium alba

 After doing some re-potting, one of the ensifoliums flowered. This is an alba form which is commonly referred to as 素心兰 in mandarin. This particular plant is a miniature form of 观音素心兰。

Coelogyne mayeriana


This is a very hardy plant and had shorter leaves when grown in full sun. Now that its in the shade, the leaves and pseudobulbs have grown longer.
