Some orchids now..

Re: Some orchids now..

Paphioboy, the Dendrobium Gatton 'Sunray' must be a large sized plant. I saw one at Sg Buloh. It was the size of a potted palm and the flowers were huge. Is it flowering season for them?

Re: Some orchids now..

man~,i love the shape of your amboinensis and does your gatton sunray expose to direct sun?

Re: Some orchids now..

hahaahaa.....I like the way you name 'supermarket dendrobium':2thumbup:

Your amboinensis is pretty especially the prominent 'tiger stripes' marking.

Re: Some orchids now..

funkychips, the Gatton 'Sunray' is actually not that big. it can bloom on just a few bulbs, but they must be mature sized. A seedling takes quite long to reach mature size, so a division is better. It is a very rewarding orchid. Now is the blooming season (March to May)..

kit1212, yes Gatton Sunray gets direct sun..

andy, its true. The dend came from Carrefour supermarket.. :p

Hi guys,
been busy for the past few weeks and the internet speed at the rig is painfully slow. can't agree more with paphioboy regarding the gatton, here is mine which blooms a few weeks ago:

i give it full sun plus since it's fertiliser hungry, i also use orchid nugget so it can get some fert everytime it's watered.

Alright lah! The sifus/masters are talking. I get to learn more about growing orchids. Got myself a few more today but now sure with their names.
