last day of my holiday

Went to visit Jason Ong of Aquagem Orchids in the east before my last few hours of holidays are over. It's a journey to the East for me. About 2 hours travel.

The food at the near by hawker centre was not bad - where else can I find 10 pieces for $2 yong tau fu and yam rice? May want to pop by there to makan again if I happened to drop by.

Now's the Catt crazy again but I have noooo mooooreeee space. When one owns too much of something, that some thing becomes a liability. The not best case scenario if one moves house or out. need to stop collecting for a while until my BBs grow up. Now that some of them had grown, they are taking more and more space. I wonder if I can grow some minis to appreciable specimen size for 2011 if not they will kena chuck aside again (zzzz). Come to think of 2011, 2007+2=2009+2= 2011 <-- my primary goal date for a PharmD, well, it's the min time span before I can reach the goal.

Some pics at Jason's

Paraphalaenopsis denevei


Bulbos and Bulbos





Japanese (top) and Korean (Bottom) Sedirea japonica

The Korean form sooo cute and petite

Cynoches warscewiczii ( may be sic)

I never tot the plant could be so big. Quite different from the Taiwanese MCs

Catt collection
Cattleya nobiliors


Cattleya intermedia var sanguinea


I think 4" flower on 4" plant is really something to keep. Normally the plants can get real big.

IMHO-the real Brassavola cordata the rest are just Little stars in the local market. The lip looks like a little arrow.


Phalaenopsis appendiculata with 3" leaves
