According to many experts Paph glanduliferum is either extinct or synonym of P. praestans. My observation is that the plants currently sold as glanduliferum tend to have broader and longer leaves than those sold as praestans. The flower stalk is also much thicker...but...the flowers look alike. This is a recent glanduliferum which flowered.
A very rare specimen of Phalaenopsis pantherina with extremely good form and size. The flower is the same size as the P. Bellina.
I was surprised to see that this plant is actually a bellina. It has not flowered for a long time and had been shifted around so much that I lost the label. The flower is rather big so let's hope it gets a bit bigger when the plant grow larger leaves.
This is a very old plant from Penang. It used to be in the collection of Mr Lim Song.
This plant has not flowered for a very long time. In fact it almost died, partly due to orchid weevils and partly due to neglect.
Now its showing strong signs of a comeback.
2 Yellow orchids are in bloom. The first one is Vanda denisoniana yellow.
This orchid is a close relative of P. cornu-cervi and P. lamelligera. While many other plants of P. pantherina has a more slender shape with denser patches of color, this particular plant's shape and color is very close to one of my P. lamelligera. However the flower of this pantherina is more than twice the size of the lamelligera. This one is slightly more than 2 inches from top to bottom.
