2. Dendrobium cuthbertsonii, look how many buds are forming!
3. Phalaenopsis stuartiana var. Yellow Joy, what a wonderful mottled leaved Phalaenopsis!
4. Phalaenopsis Little One, although I will still call it Vandopirea.. because I can! Such wonderful honey citrus fragrance!
5. Howeara Lava Burst… I’m sorry I am not calling my orchid a Leomesezia.. because I can!
6. Phalaenopsis amabilis variegated, this orchid has bright magenta root tips! look https://youtu.be/zMFJ7Mp7jCw
7. Phalaenopsis Mini Peloric NoID.. a bit of a long pseudoname 😛
8. Dendrobium aphyllum, I missed his flowers 🙁 take a look at him here https://youtu.be/QnWSqmZ0SAc
9. Oncidesa (Bapticidium) Hwuluduen Chameleon Golden Oriole, why this unearthly urge to be overly correct with these frickin names? What’s wrong with Gomesa? is this an ego driven thing? cos it sure looks that way, even if it’s all in the name of science. I will call this one Oncidesa still.. because I can!!!!
