Phal Hybrid

Another NOID Phalaenopsis hybrid in bloom.... grown at the back of the rack, clear distinct fine markings, good shape and size flowers.


A lime green Phal

An old hybrid from MH nursery, Light green in colour, mildly fragrant. Suffered crown rot but survived.  Still not growing well but managed to bloom.  No name  ID unfortunately.



Bellina "chen" vs MH Bellina

Phalaenopsis Bellina from these 2 growers are popular among hobbist. While the MH bellina is an original, one of a few I managed to collect, the Bellina "chen" bought from a Taiwanese grower is likely a clone.

Fading Tiger

Taken last week, almost in full bloom and some of the earlier flowers are already fading because of the thunderstorms.  Probably another week or two to go for this spike....  main flower spike already beginning to turn yellow.




NOID Dendrobium

Saw this at the plant stall, refreshing light orangy blooms....  couldn't resist.  No name tag tho

Phalaenopsis cornu cervi chattalade

Compact plant, very floriferous. Growers love to use this as stock plant for new hybrids because of the potential to create new hybrids with high flower count. From being a very rare and expensive specie , it is now one of the most affordable and commonly available orchid. Thanks to the taiwanese and tissue culture.
