Hot Hot Hot !!!

It's getting hotter by the days here .....  orchids are happily spiking and I am taking the opportunity to tidy up the begonias and repotting some. Philodendrons and anthuriums are also growing well and quite a few are ready to be separated or cut up for propagation. The sunny weather also means it's time to start shooting infrared photos again.

Phalaenopsis Dunman High DPDH 2

One of several that I have, this novelty phalaenopsis has got many variations and they are all beautiful. Named after Dunman High School, this hybrid was created by local grower Mr Law Moi Hwa.

Phalaenopsis pantherina DPP 1

Two months on, my Phalaenopsis pantherina has rebloomed, it's still adjusting to the hotter growing condition and the bloom is much smaller compared to when I first got the plant but I am just happy it's growing well and new roots are out.

Cattaleya hybrid 694

Saw this at a local nursery last week....a leftover from the new year rush. Large pinkish blooms and very fragrant. Probably not the best from the lot but at $25 , I couldn't resist.... will update the correct name later.
I also added a couple of Phal violacea blue ( krull's navy blue X crystelle ) to my collection.  I saw these at the WOC but they were all sold out before I could get any !   Keeping fingers crossed that colour will be nice and not another of those faded light blues.
