Phalaenopsis teoh tee teong bellina DP3T 1

Many of the phalaenopsis are coming into bloom. This Phalaenopsis teoh tee teong bellina is one of those in the collection blooming.

Philodendron pastazanum

Couple of weeks back I put up a few excess plants and cuttings for sale and got pretty good response. I slao found out that the philodendron mamei that I bought at the 2010 Garden Festival which I suspected to be a philodendron gloriosum is actually a philodendron pastazanum thanks to a well informed aroid grower. Reference HERE    

 

Caladiums

I have several varieties but these are two of my favourites. This pink version does great in full sun. The colour becomes very intense and the leaves can grow to become quite large.

The other is the not so common white version. Leaves are really large and the patterns really nice and intricate.

Bellinas

I moved most of my phals from the front growing area to the cooler side area, six months later , they are now beginning to bloom again. The bellinas are putting on a nice show.

桂花 small, yellow but extremely fragrant

Osmanthus fragrans or 桂花, this variety is the 天香台阁 which is the most fragrant variety and has larger blooms than the more common specimens.

Dendrobium tobanse

A not so common Dendrobium specie, native to North Sumatra, I got this recently from WL after seeing my friend Janet post a photo of it. It was already budding when I left for my travels three weeks ago. I had expected the flowers to have bloomed and faded by the time I got back but what a nice surprise. Two in full bloom and another two buds about to bloom. I think this plant will be a challange to grow but don't try, never know ! This specimen is from the lower 500m-1000m altitude zone so hopefully they will adapt better.
