Dendrobium Nindii

Dendrobium nindii, Family Orchidaceae, also known as the Blue Antler Orchid or Blue Orchid, is an epiphytic antler orchid.

 A very recent addition, very tall >2m in height and love strong sun. I had to get on a short ladder to take the photo.





NOID Vanda hybrid

Bought this some time ago when Mandai Orchid Garden was having a closing sale. Second flowering but the plant is still looking stressed.
