Alright, so one of my friends told me that he was waiting for me to post some pictures of my growing space. Okay, I guess it is some good time to be posting some since today is Labour Day, I technically don't have much to do and most importantly it is a nice and sunny day. Sunny days are always the best days to be taking pictures since its el naturale.
well to start, the first two pictures are taken at the
entrance of my indoor garden.
this is my Dendrobium
Honey 'White', and this sits on the window sill pretty much since spring comes along until it gets too cold at the window.
Now, this is pretty much my Phragmipedium table--there are three there. In the foreground, the one closest to the window is a Phragmipedium
Sorcerer's Apprentice, which is a primary hybrid of the two species Phrag.
sargentianum and Phrag.
longifolium. The next on in the foreground is a Phragmipedium
Conchiferum, which is a hybrid of the two species Phrag.
carinicum and Phrag.
longifolium. Lastly the one in the background is the newly aquired Phrag.
Maria Glanz, which is a hybrid of the two species Phrag.
besseae and Phrag.
wallisii.
In this picture you can see what is on my bottom shelf. The very big and tall one sticking out is the Phrag.
Giganteum--I posted the flowers in a previous post. In the foreground is a small Phalaenopsis
mannii, a species.
From the previous picture, if you noticed, there is indeed something that is hanging from the shelf above--it is a small Neofinetia
falcata that fell off the parent plant I repotted months ago. Also, Neofinetia in Japanese is 富貴蘭 (fukiran) or 風蘭 (fuuran), which is techincally the url of this blog.
This picture is of my bottom shelf too. On the left also a Neofinetia
falcata, and is parent plant in which the smaller one fell off of. The one to the left is a Phalaenopsis
equestris. There are pictures of both plants in bloom in previous posts. Lastly the one in the back is a Paphiopedilum
lowii, a multiforal slipper orchid.
The following picture is the wide view of my top shelf.
This next one is a Oncidium
Twinkles 'Fragrance Fantasy'--it is currently in spike with five flower spikes. Yes, I know the leaf tips are brown... I'm trying to figure out why (they are picky I say, doesn't mean they are hard to grow though).
This one is the Loblaws No ID Paphiopedilum.
And yes, you are not seeing things, this is the same Phalaenopsis
cornu cervi in bloom since late June... Long lasting aren't they?
This is the Cirrhopetalum
makoyanum that I have pictures of in the previous post; there's a new lead coming!!! Hurray!!!
This little guy here is one that I saved from the scorching heat of the lunchroom at work. I cannot tell you what this is exactly, but considering that it has the silver mottling of the leaf, I can say it can be a species or a hybrid of Phalaenopsis
celebensis, phillipinense,
sanderiana,
schilleriana, and/or
stuartiana. Since, outcrossing to a nonmottled leaf will cause the offspirngs to lose the mottled leafs.
The following is a Paphiopedilum delenatii x moquetteanum. Yet to flower, but I'm hoping someday soon.
This is a Pleurothallis restrepioides. Hasn't bloomed yet before, but definitely growing, and that is always a good sign to start.
Lastly, this my very first orchid, a Walmart No ID Phalaenopsis. My reliable free bloomer.
I hope you all enjoyed the quick tour around my indoor garden. Hopefully more postings in late September when my Oncidium
Twinkles 'Fragrance Fantasy' blooms. Until then, later!
