Den. anosmum var. semi-alba

As this color form shows another view of Den. anosmum. Very cute and pretty but it still cost a lot. Fragrant blooms.

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.
