Flasks are back

I send a seedpod for germination and took back 3 flasks of phal seedlings from the lab. These were from seedpods that were sent for germination about 18 months ago. They look great , healthy and of good size. Deflasking over the weekend...

Golden star

After a few rounds of pest control sprays, the flowers are back. A star shapped  Phal Stephanie Chen

Anthurium magnificant

A cutting which I planted several months back. Nicely established and healthy. A few small scars but overall looks really pretty. Leaves are about 18 inches X 24 inches. I still have a few more of these overgrowing their pots.

The Dendrobium totem pole

The centre support column of my old garden parasol cut into 2 pieces. Solid teak wood,  too good to throw away... starting with the Dendrobium bangkok sunrise. Few of my other dendrobiums are also overgrown and badly need new homes.

Small Dendrobium no ID

A small Dendrobium specimen I recently brought out unto the full sun growing enviromnent. Plain orangy coloured blooms.

Have I grown bigger ??

While routine checking the orchids, could't resist this photo. I am sure many gigantee growers frequently wonder how much bigger the leaves have grown since the last measurement. Still a bit on the skinny side, a bit more feeding might produce rounder leaves.

Phal cornu-cervi flava, such rich yellow colour

This one hasn't flowered for a while after producing some keikis. The yellow bloom looks even better in the evening sun.
