Bulbophyllum lasiochilum

Nickname " shaggy lipped bulbo". Looking at the lips of this sp, not hard to imagine why such a cute name

More interesting is despite being small size ( 1-2cm), it gived a light fragrance, some describe as strawberry smell. Flowered in end Jan- feb





Interesting now mid march, another flower appears.

Dendrobium peguanum

Another tiny flower species(< 1cm) of dendrobium. Deciduous and flower in late fall.need a dry period.
? Fragrance
This was given to me by a friend whom returned fr KK



Wow. Some can hav so many flowers.maybe next year I will be in luck




White and blood-red Dendrobium

Dendro albosaguineum. This is found in high altitude. Some will give a nice fragrance.The problem with this species is the cane can v rather long n pendulous and many will bend on its weight.




????rhyncostylis gigantea or retusa

This is supposed to be a long inflorescene..but mine only 2-3 flowers. Found this in a thrown away pile of orchids, took it home n tied on a brance...surprisingly, it flowered.

Looks like " fox-tail". Or maybe other species.maybe next year with more flowers, i can identify better

After much research, finally identified it..thisbis Vandopsis gigantea. Flowering period Feb...and flower seems to last more than 1 mth.lets hope next year will see more

Bulbophyllum morphologlorum

This bulbo i saw it in botanic garden.always have problem differentiating this fr bulbo. orientale or peninsulare or the extinct bulbo singaporeanum

Nevertheless still looks good.
