Den. convolutum

I think this is a "stylish" Dendrobium , used to be expensive but now it's cheap due to tissue culture. It's interesting for free flowering characters, so that it's possible to see the bloom all year around.

Ascda. Suksamran Sunlight "Gold"

This lovely orchid blooms several times for me this year although I do not fertilize it. But it's better to spread the liquid fertilizer from time to time.

Cattleya nobilior

A very collectible Cattleya with many varieties, especially the color forms, the excellent clones usually cost a lot. Native to S.E. of Brazil, the Cattleya nobilior prefers a dry period to enable the bloom character. Easy to grow, watering is required when the growth begins.

Trichoglottis smithii

Trichoglottis smithii is a charming orchid species from Borneo and Sumatra. It should be grown under warm and bright light condition. My plant is mounted on a tree bark with bare root.




2013年5月14日

Den. bracteosum

This is an interesting species and I like its long lasting flowers which can keep fresh over months. The flower only occurs in older psuedobulbs without leaves. My plant is a young starter, so it only blooms from the oldest but short psuedobulbs.




2013年5月11日

Den. Stardust "Firebird"

A very beautiful Dendrobium hybrid with Den. unicum, the bright orange color is addictive. It blooms in spring. Maybe I need to mount it on tree/fern bark and hopefully to get more blooms in next spring.




2013年5月2日

Vanda limbata

It seems my Vanda limbata belongs to Philippines due to the bloom color is dark red instead of the clone inhabits in Indonesia which is brown. The flowers look like they are waxed and slightly fragrant.
