Added a new plant

Saw this for sale, a bit dehydrated but nice variegated leaf patterns, couldn't resist. At $15, its not expensive. Added fertiliser and watered. Now we wait !

Fading Tiger

Two and a half months later the flowers have all finally bloomed... no wasted buds. Flowers gets smaller towards the end of the spike ..  I shall attempt to make a flower count the next time it blooms.

Big leaves

Anthuruim magnificant and the Philodendron gloriosum, both grown in the ground, they need lots of water to produce big leaves especially during this heat spell. I have not enough space on the orchid racks for them hence shifted them to the ground.

Colchicine treated Bulbophyllum phalaenopsis

The babies are significantly larger, these were seedlings bought  from Bill Thoms couple of years ago together with the Bulbo agastor and the Bulbo macrobulbom.

The are supposed to eventually grow to very large size with leaves 2m or more. The 4 smaller bulbs on the left was orginal plant that came and the others are new growth with the latest being much longer already but not quite full size yet.

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.
