PHALAENOPSIS HYBRIDS AND LOOK AT LIGHTING
Couple of hybrid Phalaenopsis with a look at lighting in the second video.
MASDEVALLIA ORCHID
This Masdevallia has flowered for the second time in about three months now. The other produced one bud that then subsequently died, the bud that is, so do not know what colour it is.
DENDROBIUM VICTORIAE-REGINAE 3RD YEAR
Well its 2014 and this little beauty has flowered again for the third year running and for about the ... umm fifth or sixth time? LOL!
PODANGIS DACTYLOCERAS
Here is my Podangis dactyloceras in flower again, or what I affectionately call the Crushed Diamond Orchid...

TINY ORCHID SPECIES of PHALAENOPSIS PARISHII FLOWERING
Now then!
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?!

THE PHALAENOPSIS MINI FLOWERING
Well it finally opened it's buds and flowered!
Now this Phalaenopsis is very, VERY small and in the last picture below some of those other hybrids are between four and ten times larger then this one! The rim of the top of the tall glass vase it rests in is less than two inches across. Meaning the leaf spans about 3 inches or so.
I wanted to explain that as I have also posted about my Phalaenopsis parishii double spiking with picturesd and a video. The species of Phalaenopsis parishii is way smalle still than even this diminutive hybrid! Probably about half the size.
Schoenorchis, which looks alot like a miniscule Phalaenopsis, is smallr STILL!
