Bulbophyllum Spiesii

 This big guy produced multiple blooms in March 2023. Lasted quite a while and the insects did the pollination job for me.

Phalaenopsis Sonia Lai Xin Ya

 Hello 2024 and I finally have a new hybrid to ring in the new year after a very long break. Love the first flower. Intense red almost maroon with subtly visible concentric rings. A Phalaenopsis Teoh Tee Teong hybrid from Moi Hwa Nursery was one of the parent plants. First from the flasks to bloom. Looking forward to more surprises!

Some old some new.... 2020 is coming

The year turning a corner, has been raining almost everyday. I have been busy and have not collected my orchids from Julius. Here is the link to his facebook Julius Ng Orchids.

A composite of a couple of bellina first blooms as well as some old blooms. A PK "chinyo" that has not bloomed for a long time.

Wishing everyone a merry christmas and a happy 2020 !!!

Para denevei again

The denevei is blooming again thanks to the heat spell. I didn't get around to do the swlfing last time. Maybe I will try again.

 

Bulbophyllum cruentum ... finally !

I wanted some Renanthera bella and hopefully Bulbophyllum cruentum. I didn't get the Renanthera but managed to finally get hold of some Bulbo cruentum. A specie I have been trying to find for a long time. Thanks to Julius Ng @ Julius Ng Orchids its now in the collection together with the other macrobulbons.  I shall try and share some photos of Julius's nursery when I next collect my orchids.

More blooms

The 2 spikes from Teoh Tee Teong hybrid feeling a bit crowded compared to the Bellina red blooms.

Collected some seedlings

3 bottles were ready to be deflasked.  As usual break bottles, wash off media, fungicide soak then into containers with spaghnum moss.
