Last Sunday, we went over to agric expo at Taman Warisan Pertanian Putrajaya. A short trip away, at the far end of presint 16 ... Kakdah decided to start toying with orchids. So we took home 2 pots ..... and the liquid fertilizer as well ... She was far more serious with orchids when we were in Pahang many years ago, dividing her time well between family, sewing and orchids. Then there was a rare orchid we took from a hill at Teluk Senangin, Perak which is not far away from her hometown .... and there was another orchid which thrive in coastal areas with stem as big as the arm!....
With regular transfer over the years, gardening and orchids get stunted and stay dormant for quite sometime ......

ReplyDeleteSikit2 lama2 jadi bukit.. I like orchids too as the flowers are quite lasting and the hybrids always do have fascinating colors..
ReplyDeleteWonderful colors in those flowers. Happy Spring - Found you on Blotanicals.

There will be more posts on orchids, depending on the inclination of interest which can sway between veggies, flowers, orchids and other things .... Thanks again, cheers! ~ bangchik
I've never tried growing orchids. All I do is admire! They are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteKim and Victoria ... haha ... can always try orchids ... they are very much independent! ... cheers. ~ bangchik
ReplyDeleteThats most probably 'epidendrum'. I've never grown them myself. My orchids are mostly dendrobiums and phalenopsis. But growing them is one of them most rewarding things :)
ReplyDeleteHi sunita ... thanks, that sounds better than our perceived version "IP dondrum" ...
ReplyDeleteHello, Bangchik
ReplyDeleteThank's for visit Arboretto. It's an Epidendrun, beautiful terrestrial orchid! Cheers!
