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:
