Paph Bel Royal

Paph Bel Royal
Hybrid (rothschildianum x kolopakingii)



Paph Bel Royal, a first time bloomer with 4 flowers. The spike was so thick and I thought it was going to be more than 5 or 6 flowers. Nevertheless, I am happy with the outcome.

For whatever reason, I felt this hybrid is adapting very well in Singapore, there are few pots here and all of them are growing very well, and the other pot is spiking as well but with only 3 buds.

Paph Muriel Constance

Paph Muriel Constance
Hybrid (Greyi x bellatulum)

Weather is slowly changing, while seeing some of my multiflorals spiking up(generally now is the season for multiflorals till about end April), meanwhile, I am not seeing much action for my brachys yet. I guess it has to do with me repotting all of them a few months ago, and were hit with a month plus long of heavy rain. Some did not make it, but some were surviving. 

I keep them in 2 locations, most of the small size plants are in my apartment, they are located beside the window in one of my bedrooms, the windows are alway open, and without direct sunlight, just bright enough.

The other batch is in my little garden, which I have placed all of them under the polycarbonate shelter to prevent any direct sunlight or direct heavy downpour onto the crown(but they plants will still be wet if it rains heavily)

Brachys generally do better with bright environment, whether they are in my little garden or in my apartment, I will still be able to see them in action.

But before the brachys season starts, let me slowly enjoy my multifloral first! 2 pots of Bel Royal, 1 Lady Isabel (likely with 2 spikes), 2 St Swithin.... coming soon! yeah! But just one request, can you all bloom in July? (Singapore Garden Fest!) ha ha!

Paph Nathaniel's Scarlet

Paph Nathaniel's Scarlet
Hybrid (Paph Regcan Sanfan x Paph bellatulum)

To start, this is not an easy plant to be taken care with! Received 2 flasks from friend some years back.
From a good 40 plus seedlings at the beginning, till left with 20 seedlings after 2 years, and only 5 matured plants today!
However, it's very rewarding to be able to see the flower.

Last Batch of Bruno in action



This is my last batch of Bruno in action since the beginning of the year. There were more than 15spikes in 3 different pots.

By far, Bruno had been one of my favorite, and I am happy that I am rewarded with beautiful bloomed each year!

See you guys in Action again next year!
