Paph javanicum

First time bloomer, I like the green straps on the dorsal, and the wide open petals, and not forgetting it looks like a grouchy old man's face! Ha ha..

St Swithin

St Swithin

The latest from the garden! With 4 flowers! Not bad, not bad!

Paph rothschildianum, S Gratrix and a surprise guest

Paph rothschildianum

This is the first time roths bloomed at my place, the last time its spike did not make it to bloom. Although it was just with one flower, it is 21cm across, kinda big flower, I am happy about it, hope to see more of it.

Paph roths, spike out from another pot. Looks like at least 2 flowers? am hoping to see min 3 of them, let's pray!

Paph S Gratrix

Second bloom and in less than 6 months. strong deep purple patches. 

Paph spicerianum

Looks like something is not right with this spike, think I am going to lose this! That is sad!

Ha Ha!

Something interesting! Do you know what is this? it is a species, not fully bloomed yet. Am excited to see this!

What's on today?

Paph Bruno was awarded for the best hybrid and the overall first place on the monthly OSSEA orchids display. (For the month of Feb 2011)

And exul was awarded for the best spiecies!!

Paph Nathaniel's Passion

Paph Nathaniel's Passion

(Hybrid ameniacum X Enzan Land)

Repotted all of the seedlings, they are about 80 of them. They are relatively young, perhaps another year of so before I could see them flowering!

At The Garden Today

Another long day at the garden before heading to church for mass. Yep, it was a busy day for me, especially when I had to run to a few places before gardening job was done.


Finally I received the Rand's air cone pots!!  And had started using them as well!


Took some pictures today, I just want to share with you what I had discovered in the garden today!

Paph Mukoyama Green X Lovely Yard

Paph Bruno and exul

Paph S Gratrix (bud is getting bigger compare to one week ago)

Paph spicerianum (spiking now) In less than a week, the spike has come out so much!

Paph rothschildianum (only 1 bud), am a little disappointed to see only one bud, nevertheless, I am sure it's going to be a beautiful flower. Am certainly looking forward to seeing another pot to bloom!

Paph parishii (second pot flowering) 3rd pot is spiking now too! 

Paphs' corner, Lady Isabel, St Swithin, lowii, rothschildianum, sanderianum.. etc etc..

S Gratrix and bellatulum

S Gratrix, coming soon! coming soon! The bud looks rather round, I wonder is the flower going to be as round too?

Off season, but my bellas still want to show off!

exul

Finally another one bloomed too, they are just gorgeous! Deep color with wide opened arms!

Guess what is this? one week later

One week had just passed, the spike had already came out quite a bit. I believe you would have known what is this going to be? Right?

And just a few pots away, another one is showing off its sheath as well, and it's coming out slowly too.

Raining Day In the Garden

Finished up some of the repotting need today, by far, this is the longest time I have spent in the garden, 9 hours, as if I was working in the office!

Well, not too bad, noticed some new flower buds, S. Gratrix, In-Charm Pearl, bellatulum etc..

Should be able to see more flowers towards end of Feb..

Guess what is this?

You wont believe what I saw this afternoon!! it's something that I long wanted to see! Will definitely update this on weekly basis!

Paph exul

2 spikes in the same pot, am just waiting for the next one to bloom soon! Perhaps in another 1 plus week time!

paph Mukoyama Green X Lovely Yard

Finally, a better shape of paph Mukoyama Green X Lovely Yard. I would supposed thanks to the rain, which has made the temperature come down quite a fair bit, thus, this bloomed with better shape.

Another spike is coming out from the same pot, hope to see a even better one!
