Paph Shin-Yi Sanders

Shin-Yi Sanders - don't why one petal is growing faster than the other one?mm.. First time bloomer, plant is still weak and typically this is not the right season to bloom.

Buds Watch

Really Nothing much lately, had been raining heavily in the afternoon, hopefully my slipper orchids are alright.

Waiting for some of them to bloom..

Hybrid (Lalita x hangianum)

Finally bloomed successfully! The first bud was too shy to open up, both petals kept hugging on to her pouch and refused to show me her beauty!

Nothing much lately..

I guess my paphs know that I have been busy lately with my work and decided not to bloom as much as before.. Most of them are in spike or just had flower sheaths.. 

Sharing one pot which has 3 spikes now, long waited and hopefully they will bloom successfully!

Kinda disappointing to see this. Well, firstly, bloomed at wrong season, it's hot and dry now. secondly, the seed pods are under developed. thirdly, only 2 flowers. forth, not the first bloomed!!! Argh!!! The first bloomed was with 4 flowers and they were so much better than this time! Have to wait for another year lo...

Season of Paphiopedilum (Subgenus)

Was watering my slipper orchid earlier on, and this is what I discovered. Quite a number of vejvarutianum bloomed last year during Sept to Nov. This time round, they came a little late, but am happy to see approximately 5 pots with spikes. Attached below 2 photos taken today.

Besides vejvarutianum, there were another 2 pots that caught my attention. Don't want to name it right now, but will share more when they bloom successfully. I have not been very successful when come to this, they spiked last year but all 4 blasted. I have now 1 pot with 3 spikes coming out and another pot with 2 spikes coming out.

can you see any spikes?

Here you are!
