Phalaenopsis Luedde Violacea & hybridsing thoughts

Just when i was wondering where to get this plant over the weekend and was talking to Wairon to remark some crosses, JT popped out and said he has. I was liked... wow liow eh... i quickly pestered him to allow me to pollinate the plant featured above. He walked to the next rack and took out another one to show me. Without much hesitation, i told him to sell it to me. He agreed to it almost immediately and i happily hung it on my rack. Im going to the nursery tomorrow to take a picture of the bloom before it get "rape".

This afternoon i sent an email to WR and told him about the parentage of this particular cros that i have been thinking of to remake. Have been to some reading over a few websites and more or less have some ideas in mind on what i want to achieve. With the help of WR and those in the nursery, im sure we are going to come out with some wonderful remake and from there launch into some new hybrids.

Phalaenopsis Jessie Ang

Had posted this previously and this time it has 5 flowers in bloomed. Think im going to get more of this breed and see how all of them turn out.

The many faces of Phalaenopsis Princess Kaiulani

Im still trying to find my other Princess's pictures to post.. arrh.. just to many pictures to go through...

Labrador's living intertidal shore

Was browsing through Wild shores of Singapore website and click on the link that brought me to Labrador's living intertidal shore page. Didn't realise that there were so many corals, different marine lives that made homes on our coasts including those in the southern islands and elsewhere.

Come to think of it, nature is always on the loosing end when developments have to take place. Was watching Animal Planet last night and there was a mixed group of people that were selected to go to Borneo to help to save the wild orangutan habitat. I seriously think that the organiser had selected the wrong group of people to go there as they are not used to our climate at all. By mid noon most of them were grousing away and bitching at one another. Maybe they should consider asian folks as we are the one that living in the similar climatic zone. Sorry to digress. Back to Labrador.. i like to take a walk over at the park once in awhile as the scenery there is nice and a good place to relax especially after a long day in the office.

Check out this link on what were found before reconstruction work been done on Labrador.

Phalaenopsis violacea alba?

I seriously have my doubt whether is the above violacea alba. However, no one can really tell unless you are so close to the flower and the lips that you can notice so hairy stuffs on the tip of the lips. Yes, the hair is still around aupon close scrutiny! I really think that this is Penang violacea which is a cross using Phal. violacea x Phal. micholitzii. The hairy lips is resultd from micholitzii.

Phalaenopsis El Tigre

Think i had shared this plant in one of my earlier post. Anyway, i really like the barring on the petals. This was given to me from other good orchid friend, M. Something abt M is that he is very willing to share and a very humble guy. I really have to count my blessing that be able to be surrounded by so many good friends. All thanks to God!

Striking lottery!

Buying orchid is like trying to strike TOTO or 4D. Im so lucky to be able to get another red color cornu-cervi from the three that i bought. Ha..

The earlier thread on this red cornu cervi is below.

Phalaenopsis hieroglyphica

One of the very few species that im still growing... Bought this during the first GardenTech from Anna from Philippines. This is the second time this species flower for me. The only consolidation that i have for this is the flower count is very high.

Its an hobby that we share with one another to promote orchids growing and share some common interests. Its not an hobby that we try to out shine one another and put others to shame.
