I think I forgot to post about this on here and sorry but much will ne happening on this site from now on and in abount a months time I should be ordering new Orchids too. However I am waiting for a mate to turn up as I want to give him a coupld of Orchids but he is on one of his notorious periods of absence. Lol.
Anyway here is a little surprise for both me and now for you. Now out of the many species of Phalaenopsis I acquired one that I thought would flower after a couple of others has now .. flowered!
Now you have to understand that this is firstly a Moth Orchid SPECIES and secondly that thyis is very tiny indeed. In fact if you have any hybrids you purchased from a supermarket then I can guarantee that the reduced size lip that your Orchid has is quite a bit bigger than the entire flower of this one!
These are just around 5 to maybe 7 mm across. No I am not kidding here and in one video I pan across to my Spotty Dog hybrid Orchid so you can check the size difference. I do in fact place a ten pence piece in the photos, if not one of these videos.
Now I am hoping that the other species of Phalaenopsis I have will each flower this year now that the warmer temperatures are here?! Hopefully because a spell of increased growth will no take place?
So as well as trying to order afew more species in about a months time there are my other species of Phalaenopsis of zebrina, hieroglyphica, violacea, sumatrana and bellina! So five more species to go and also my Dendrobium victoriae-reginae has buds right now and then there is the Vanda coerulea.
Also the Vanda denisoniana has also icreased it growth rate in the last few days too. SO maybe late in the summer we might be in for different show altogether?!
