A precious gift

This Cattaleya was a gift from my friend, a plant from the KL garden of his late father. This is the first flowering here after two months. I took this photo with my SE handphone to Watsapp him.

Managed to get hold of a few Paraphalaenopsis today, long overdue ! I had arranged to collect them some time ago but never got down to doing it till today. Amongst them a labukensis and a not so common denevei. The denevei was a cutting from the plant below and the labukensis a sibling of the other plant.

恭喜发财 !

It's Chinese New Year, my willows has got so many new growths ( thanks to Dr Malik's Lushgro ), it feels like spring !  Orchids have been blooming too but I have been too busy to shoot some decent photos to post.... adding here a photo of The Phalaenopsis Dunman High ( bought from Uncle Moi Hwa ) taken this morning. The new flower has just bloomed this morning and should flatten out more with the white portions of the petals transforming to a porcelain white.

Here's Wishing everyone  :

My first olive !

Bought this olive plant couple of years back, took a while for it to get used to the climate here. Finally it's fruiting......
