Good morning ...

Looks like its going to rain again.  Sky is cloudy and gray , a  few snap shots from this morning....

The blues brothers again

In synchronised blooming.... both old specimens that i have been growing for quite a while. Always happy to add any blue catt to the garden.

Flowering as usual

The netting has managed to keep all the birds out. Orchids are flowering again.  This yellow hybrid is very floriferous and the new spikes just keep coming.

The green one

It has been raining quite a bit and i have not been checking on the orchids. Found this early on monday after a heavy thunderstorm. A first bloom....  unusually green in colour the yellow markings seems pale in comparism to the patches of green.  Would be interesting to see what the next bloom looks like.

Amorphophallus titanum awakening

After more than a year of hybernation...its finally peeking out of the ground again. It will grow up to 2 m  or more within the month, also known as the corpse flower because of the smell. It is ocassionally featured in news whenever there is flowering in botanical gardens around the world.

Phalaenopsis mituo king

A Taiwanese hybrid. Bought from Song Orchids last year....  second blooming since I got it. Intense colour, thick petals....   relatively flat. Somehow the original vibrance and colour intensity of the blooms seems diminished when posted here....  it looks much better on the Samsung OLED screen.

Phalaenopsis valentinii

Have this for quite a while probably more than 5 years....  it was struggling to survive.  Finally found a sweet spot for it to grow and flower.
