Phalaenopsis violacea alba

Phalaenopsis violacea alba, whats left of an old plant that I have grown for many years. Managed to save it from rot and now happy to see it blooming again. Fragrant !

Renenthera storiei

This one has gone through several near death experiences.....  i tried tying it to palm tree ,  plumeria, grow in charcoal etc  finally it seems happy growing from a chopsticks holder with a mix of charcoal and coco husks. This is a yellow form which i got from Moi Hwa Nursery.


Anselia africana

I like this orchid but not its messy roots.  This is one of 2 seedlimgs bought from a local nursery. Growing nicely and i have not paid much attention to it...   also have the alba version but i think the non alba flowers are much nicer. Can't wait for it to start blooming.

 

Beccarii added new leaf

The beccarii grew new leaves ....  leaves getting larger. A good sign that the growing conditions is suitable.  I will be adding more chopped coconut husks and spaghnum moss this one like a very wet growing media.






Weeding time

The ferns and my orchids are such good buddies, i have to spend a morning every few weeks to weed out the random growing ferns...  they usually add up to half a pail.
