Phalaenopsis bellina "chen"

This is one of the plants from a flask I bought from a Taiwanese grower. Looks great for a first bloom. Super green around the edges.

Mini fireworks

They resemble fireworks when they bloom. An old specimen that has been around since I started growing orchids.

Renenthera storiei

This one has gone through several near death experiences.....  i tried tying it to palm tree ,  plumeria, grow in charcoal etc  finally it seems happy growing from a chopsticks holder with a mix of charcoal and coco husks. This is a yellow form which i got from Moi Hwa Nursery.


Anselia africana

I like this orchid but not its messy roots.  This is one of 2 seedlimgs bought from a local nursery. Growing nicely and i have not paid much attention to it...   also have the alba version but i think the non alba flowers are much nicer. Can't wait for it to start blooming.
