Bulbophyllum Macrobulbon Section

I have always like the large Bulbophyllums and on a few recent trips managed to find some of the rarer ones to add to the garden. I found a few online sellers after a long search and got the following Bulbophyllum Agastor ,  Bulbophyllum Macrobulbum, and very nice specimens of Bulbophyllum Spiesii (Vanuatu)  and Orthosepalum.  Missing the Bulbophyllum Cruentum which is cool growing and a real challenge to grow here in the tropic.

Paraphalaenopsis Denevei

Found this by chance while visiting Song Orchids. There were a few left from a shipment brought in and this one was in pretty good shape with new roots already showing. It was quite pricy. I had it remounted on cork bark and it seems pretty happy with the new growing environment.  It bloomed after about 6 month of growing and I managed to do a selfing. The seed pod is now about 1 month and looking good....   fingers crossed !

Phalaenopsis Sapphire's Galah

This is a nice cross, love the colour created using the Purple Martin. Bought during the WOC in Singapore. It has flowered  often , suffered crown rot and came back from the brink.  This is a Phalaenopsis Purplr Martin X Phalaenopsis Violacea var Indigo.

Phalaenopsis Gentleman Jack

Bought this as a seedling during one of the orchid shows. It has been close to 3 years and it's finally flowered.  Looks pretty decent for a first spike.  This is a Phalaenopsis Gigantea X Phalaenopsis Tetrapis hybrid.
