this nursery has 3 shade houses-2 orchids and 1 succulents.
this grower, Dave specialises in dendrobium (although you can also find some zygo and cattleyas in the orchid shadehouse).
some of his dendrobiums are huge..i think they are more than 10 years old.
i bought some succulents and home-made clover honey from him.
enjoy the gallery of pics i took of his lovely plants.
believe it or not, both flowers come from the same parent plants/ seedlings but the colours can vary. that's the beauty of hybridisation.
This is a zygopetalum orchid. Notice the intensity of the purple color on the lip from 2 different plants.
this is the gigantic dendrobium orchid. look at its size relative to average dendrobium.
these are some of the complementary plants in the orchid shadehouse. the hanging/cascading ones are spanish moss. they are a type of air plant.
another type of dendrobium orchid.
this is a succulent plant. not sure if it's aeonium or echeveria but i adore its symmetry.
this is my favourite photo. it's also the result of hybridisation. the plant has the same parents as the first two photos you see.
two bromeliad that caught my attention.
two succulents that's filled every inch of the pot. the left one is called the sempervivum aka hen and chicks and the right one is the 'organ pipe' crassula.
