I've moved off orkets and if you're game with Phalaenopsis species, try those mini phals or P. cornu-cervi (their waxy petals are highly reflective and difficult to get a decent pic!).

Kingidium species are also interesting, be it K. deliciosa or K. minus.

Some Dendrobium species have freaking tiny blooms and if you like shooting macro, go for it!!

I think you'll also like Schoenorchis!!

Wait a minute... you really do have lots of "ah beng" friends!

Hi Eugene,

I am keeping leaves...taken by blackberry.

2 different variants of Ludisia discolor.

**RonWill** · 29th Sep 2010, 23:11

Ludisia? That's jewel orchid!! but... my L. discolor is different ley...

This is what I dug up from the 'mother pot' in July '09... all fat fat rhizomes!

After re-potting, changed out the media (a customized mix for my rosemary) and given to a bird friend.

Gecko, wanna swap cuttings?

I think I have your variant already....

Fwah, you guys are so much more hardcore then me!

Bought my first mini palmer today for their fragrance.... they are no.1 to me among all the fragrant orchids that i have smelt so far.

Eugene, when you have the chance, go sniff up Dendrobium anosmum and then tell me if the Palmer is still your numero uno! I was sooo intoxicated by their scent, I bought a few and hung them along my corridor... but that was when I was smitten by the orket-bug!!

**ranmasatome** · 7th Nov 2010, 22:01

If you're interested in small orchids.. you can also try your hands at dendrobium pachyphyllum... small with a powerful scent.

Great shots! Orchids and fish go really well together IMO.
Very nice coerulea colour on the Phal. bellina!
Here is a pic of mine.
Have fun with your plants!

Mine is a Phal. violaecea. Not a bellina. But I've already gotten more violaecea and bellina. Not flowering yet. And also, another hobby that goes along with fish and orchids...Parrots!
