New phalaenopsis orchids from Kingfisher Orchids

I bought some new phalaenopsis orchids:

Neofinetia falcata Keiga 慶賀

I have collected few neofinetias over the past year. Here is the first one to bloom: Neofinetia falcata Keiga 慶賀. An old variety registered in Mie Prefecture. It is listed in the current Fukiran Meikan under Three Pillars: Excellence...

Dendrobium farmeri

New dendrobium that I just got from Tropical Gardens Orchids opened the blooms on first spike. They are pretty and fuzzy. Dendrobium farmeri flowers have pink blush on white petals and very yellow center. I like it a lot...

Bulbophyllum eberhardtii blooms

One of my favorite bulbophyllums is blooming again.... Bulbophyllum eberhardtii is a large bulbo and has pretty flowers arranged into circle. I didn't detect any fragrance, which is good.

Hoya bella: my first hoya blooms ever...

Last summer I got few cuttings of Hoya bella from my YouTube friend, within less than a year I have blooms... a lot of them...
I am addicted to hoyas now and hoya bella is my favorite...

Ottawa Orchid Show 2019

Just a few video shots I took at the show this year...

My hoya plants

I found some peduncles on my Hoya bella and decided to do update on all my hoya plants. While filming the plants - I found yet another hoya that decided to bloom...
I just started growing them recently and they are quickly becoming my favorites. I think I need more of those hoya plants.

April 2019 orchids update

My Dend. jenkinsii had cold dry rest during winter and... I found spikes!
Aeranthes ramosa started new spike growing in complete shade - didn't expect that.
Bulbophyllums didn't like my fertilizing schedule and complained developing brown leaf tips...

Montreal Orchid Show - OrchidExpo 2019

Neofinetia orchids repotted

Finally my neos got fresh moss:

Phalaenopsis Mok Choi Yew

Wonderful phal cross with large leaves Phalaenopsis Mok Choi Yew (Phal. gigantea x Phal. violacea) bloomed in my tank:

Vanda Rothschildiana

First blooming of my Vanda Rothschildiana - V.sanderiana x V. coerulea:

Phalaenopsis javanica

Bulbophyllum lasiochilum blooms

My extremely cute bulbo plant produced a flower. It took a while to actually open. For many days it looked like a lobster claw of a green color with some brown pattern and I was wondering if that was it....

Bulbophyllum Kalimpong blooms

Here is my first success with bulbophyllums. I got this Bulbophyllum Kalimpong from Piping Rock Orchids, it was potted established division, but I decided to mount it on the piece of cork bark.
It took plant about a year to get re-established enough to bloom. Didn't do anything special for it really, just watered, so it tells me this cross is an easy bloomer...

Vanilla planifolia variegata

Got my first vanilla plant from Ecuagenera in mid-october. First couple weeks it was in the clay pot with sphagnum moss and branches free hanging. In such setup I rotted all bottom part - including all root ball and part of the main stem. Two cuttings with some aerial roots were saved. So, now I potted them into clay pot with bark and gave them something to climb on.
Plant is in the warm tank under the fan for increased air movement. Hope it will work:

Phalaenopsis Nobby's Fox in bloom

Phal. Nobby's Fox = Buena Jewel x Penang Girl. Wonderful cross - has very pleasant fragrance, pretty colors and nice shape. Also blooms a lot.
This time it has blooms on three spikes at the same time. Too bad spikes are too short.
