Bulbophyllum catenulatum

Yeah flowered my first bulbo in ages...





I tried to stay away from all forms of bulbos after sending many to their ugly rotting floating graves. But then Anna insisted I take one to try during the SOS 2006 and wow it managed to grow. Now let's bow our heads in prayer that it isn't a swan song. @@

Visit to Yee Peng Nursery - Vandaeous

Willie (no relation to the other one) showed me around his Vandaeous experiments. Crossing names I do not know - didn't bother to ask until I intend to buy any - vandaeous are a no no in my arid balcony.

National flower's lao bu or lao pei Papilioanthe teres






















Vanda Mimi Palmer hybrids:






I like the colour of this one. The rest of the plants havevery long yellow spikes but this one is short and green-yellow




This one is really nicely rounded. Looked as if Vandanopsis (can't remember the other genus) parishii was used


Couple of Renatheras

Visit to Yee Peng Nursery - Laelinae

Very sianz during my short break before I break my brains in the hospital. Decided to pay a dear friend a visit @ his father's farm near Jalan Kayu. The sky was darkening, so went earlier to snap some shaky pics.

The draw of this place is that it is a breeding ground for new colours and shapes - a far cry from the other import and sell kinda place. It was exciting to see the outcomes of these genetic experiments.

Pai sey for the lobe-sided pix, not time to readjust. Verli busy.

Tee or or
