Phalaenopsis modesta DPMD 1
A small phalaenopsis. I think I probably have this for about 5 years now and it's grown mounted on the champaka tree.

Angel's Trumpet
I brought back a few of these from Yogyakarta, various colours but only the peach specimen survived. It flowered once after I brought it back probably due to the stress of adjusting to warmer growing conditions. The plant is now established and the leaves are getting healthier and larger. I think it should be flowering again soon.
Trick or Treat ?
A nice free flowering specimen. Bright orange flowers that adds colour to the garden each time it blooms.

Phalaenopsis cornu-cervi red
A dark phal cornu-cervi red, once rare and expensive, these are now quite commonly available and more reasonably priced since taiwanese growers started flooding the market with TC plants.
Lucky 7
An old plant bought from either WL or Song's years back, mounted on palm tree and blooms frequently. It usually gives two or three flowers but this time it gave seven after I tied some osmocote near the roots. Some of the flowers are suffering from the heavy rain and are beginning to fade... btw I saw one of this in bloom and for sale at WL couple of weeks back.

Anthurium hybrid
A large leaf anthurium hybrid. Don't know the exact parentage but this plant has nice large heart shaped leafs. This is a new cutting from the parent plant potted about 2 weeks ago.
The pioneer !
This heliconia sexy pink is a pioneer in the garden. I bought it together with a few other gingers from the Mandai Zoological Gardens....yes it's true , they used to sell more than just poo !
Sadly I don't think they sell their excess plants anymore. This particular heliconia was shifted from pot to ground and is now well established and ready to bloom again.

And now we wait !
I had a white bat lily some time ago, unfortunately my dog knock off the pot and broke the young plant into two. I tried but could not get it to grow again. I have since been looking out for a replacement but so far no luck. So I am going to start from basics and try and grow them from seeds. Seeds arrived yeaterday and I soak some of the seeds in h20 and another batch in HB101. The ones soaked in HB101 were planted this morning and the ones with H2O will be sown this evening. Thank you Travis @ GEORGIAVINES .
