Johor Orchid Show - Exhibition area

The masde display bei Orchideen Röhl



Masdies a challenging to grow without stable temps and aircon locally. I call them the birthday candle orchids - look very nice then a month later the leaves fall off en masse.

The exhibit by the Danish Royal Orchid Gardener didn't interest me much but the entire lot of Phalaenopsis mariae is being shipped into Singapore soon - purchased by a grey-haired former bodybuilder.

Taiwan Orchid Growers' Association with their trademark flower:


Chinese exhibit with the Confucian orchids

Caused a bit of confusion with people comprening YYY no flower and only put pic?! Complaints came mainly from womenfolk who undermined the lovely leaves and scent of the (absent) flowers of the gentleman's orchid *run and hide*. Shisedo had made a parfum made exclusively from these orchids known as "Tantara".

The Italiano display (I think it was by Alexandro)

Cyps and some other terrestrials



Leaves and leaf markings remind me of Stenoglottis.
