Vanda hybrid in bloom

A Vanda coerulea hybrid in bloom.

How's this for a Selfie !

Selfing done ! Now we wait .....

Gouji berry

Usually sold in the dried version and a common ingredient thats added to soups. The fresh fruits has a texture and taste more like little korean strawberries.

Some like it hot !

While the weather gets unberably hot, for us and some plants, others actually love being in the heat !  This Bulbophyllum medusa is putting on a show.

Rat tail in full bloom

The Paraphalaenopsis denevei is now in full bloom. I counted 9 flowers. Will enjoy the flowers another day or 2 then try do do some selfing. The little fertiliser container on top of the plant holds Japan Orchids Be-1 pellets. Together with HB-101 they are my most used fertiliser for plants and orchids supplemented with Gaviota 63&67.

Cherry blossoms in autumn, Osmanthus in Singapore

Yes freak weather everywhere.... Cherry blossoms are blooming in autumn according to the news reports. My osmanthus plants brought back from Guilin are also blooming !

Not exotic but beautiful !

You dont really need exotic stuff to produce nice flowers ....   This was a piece of left over ginger that was thrown out to grow in the garden.   Beautiful flowers comparable to some exotic highland orchids !
