Bulbophyllum agastor

Bought this from Bill Thoms after a long search. Its been here alomst 16 months. I grow it mounted on fern bark and under 50% shade netting. Its happy with 2 waterings a day when there is no rain. Flowering for the first time since I bought it  :)

Phalaenopsis bellina coerulea

I have not taken or posted much photos of this bellina. Bought from a Taiwanese grower at one 2012 WOC. Its in the background but not forgotten.

Phalaenopsis gentle jack

A hybrid from Phalaenopsis gigantea and tetrapis C1 ,  it retains the big leaf characteristics of the gigantea.

Phalaenopsis tang mei chyn

This was my first registered hybrid....  the experience was quite educational and the journey exciting. Following this the process became easier but no less exciting especially the days leading up to the opening of the first bloom of each hybrid.

In posting my photographs I try not to do anything more than white balance and contrast adjustments so as to show the actual colours. This can be especially challenging for blue and indigo coloured blooms.

Bulbophyllum medusae

This bulbo is  one of the old timers in the garden. Bought from Song orchids when I first started growing orchids. Has the ability to throw out lots of blooms and put on quite a show. Easy to grow and not demanding.

Phalaenopsis bellina alba

Got this not too long ago ....  now growing tied to cork bark instead of the original spaghnum moss which doesnt quite suit my watering programme.
