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.

Lc. Canhamiana "Azure Skies"

The parentage was Cattleya mossiae (blue form) x Laelia purpurata (blue form). This is a nice F1 that blooms in summer.

Renanthera imschootiana

Personally I love the genus Renanthera a lot because the showy red flowers. And when it's in full bloom, it's like a red cloud which is charming with no doubt. This is a new species "imschootiana" that I got in this year. The color is like it's on fire and the flowers are long-lasting.

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.

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.

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.

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.
