Blooming phalanopsis bellina

More of my favourite phalanopsis bellina are blooming over at Wairon's nursery.

Birthday lunch

My boss, ES and staff had arranged for a lunch and it turned out to be a birthday lunch treat from them. We went to a Italian restaurant along East Coast Road. The ambience is nice and so do the food.







Pistachos tiramisu cake - very very nice!



Plus the birthday boy... ha

Update on tank

Most of the plants are doing well except for one particular one. The tank should be fully cycled by now and had added more fishes last night.

Tiger lotus (Nymphaea maculata)



Just trim of the background centre plant (Synnema triflorum) yesterday as it has over grown and shaded off some of the plants at the bottom. The one that is not doing well is Vallisneria spiralis.

Some of the foreground plants include Cryptocoryne, Echinodorus tenellus etc.



Corydoras Paleatus

Almost a month after i started... very siong cause have to keep changing water every other two days... can't wait for the tank to be fully cycled.

Phal Tsay's Evergreen "THA44"

Got this from Sean and it has put out its first flower. The flower is relatively big and form is nice.

New hobby

Just started on planted tank craze recently or rather i have been thinking about it but took the plunged during Aquarama 2009 by purchased a 4 x 2 sump tank. The crazy things that i have done, took leave last week and drove to Lim Chu Kang to buy aquatic plants, visited numerous aquariums around Singapore. The tank is finally up and running and all thanks to my good pal CC for helping me out and guiding me patiently.

Here is the only picture that i took before it had been filled up.



Will post more pictures soon.

Phalaenopsis Agnes Sng

It has been a while since i last posted. Have been very busy with my new hobby, planted tank. It has been up and running since last friday. Still waiting for the tank to cycle before loading more fishes to it. Think i'm going crazy very soon.

This is the latest plant that i bought last week from Uncle T. The very moment that i walked out from his shed, this plant was immediately pollinated. Hopefully the pollination will take place.



This plant was breed and registed by Uncle T in year 2006 volume 114, number 1272. The parents are Phal. Penang Girl x Phal. Kuangfeng's Ruby. Its such a pity that the Penang Girl is no longer around otherwise it should be in my IW list.
