Tissue cultured plant bottles
Visited ecuagenera sales stall at the world orchid conference and ended up with two bottles of tissue cultured anthuriums the warocqueanum and the magnificum. Long shot but I am curious. Hopefully I can keep them alive long enough..... at another vendor stall I also found a bottle of the specie orchid Renanthera bella, something I have been trying to find for a while !
Dendrobium parthenium
Nice flowers form this Dendrobium. Another old member of the collection this one is about to bloom again...
Cattaleya bowringiana
A nice free flowering blue cattaleya. I saw this for sale at the market florist and just had to buy it. Not bad for a twenty dollar purchase.

Phalaenopsis violacea alba
Another one of the first orchids that came to the garden when I started getting interested in orchids. I now have a few of these including an old "jungle specimen" bought years ago from WL.

Phalaenopsis hannover passion
Not uncommon but a nice one to have in the collection. Love the intense wild markings.
Phalaenopsis kung's princess DPKP 1
I hesitated because it was a long spike phal and I had not seen the actual bloom plus it was not exactly cheap but was assured it would be nice. After a few months of growing, the princess finally blossomed. The gamble paid off !
Yikes !!!
