these lovely orchid belonged to my uncle who's a really good grower.
if he sees my collection, he would flip :P i usually visit him whenever I go back to Sibu and he would definitely let me tour around his shadehouse and tells me about the orchid but i can't remember all their names now.
i took heaps of pic but some didn't turn out well and these are my favourite shots.
the first pic from the left is an albino borneo orchid. it's a type of phalaenopsis aka moth orchid.
in a normal borneo orchid, it has a pink lip..i took the 2nd pic as i have never seen an orchid plant with variegated leaves..third pic is another type of phalaenopsis usually the taiwanese hybrid.
i forgot the name of the orchid in the 1st plant in 2nd row but I like the shape and colour of the flowers. next one is a cymbidium...cymbidium is usually cool growing, but apparently these one is warm growing and comes from China. the third one is probably a type of dendrobium,
again i like the plant and shape of flowers ..
on the third row, the orchid looks like a type of palm tree. apparently this species is from panama. i took the pic of the last two pics for its intense colour.
