    Finally, we had a respite from the rains and/or strong winds. There are several more photos that need editing before they can be posted. I shall be adding them in a couple of days.
    One of the travails of growing plants outside is the grime that accumulates on the leaves, stems, and even the blooms. Hence, I sometimes edit those.
    Phalaenopsis bellina is a Bornean species and is not found anywhere in the Philippines. Still, it is a species that I love, and its beauty simply cannot be ignored. Plus, it smells wonderful.
    Aerides odorata is also fragrant, one that can be quite assertive with its musky undertones.

    I just had a wonderful idea. Why don't you invite Yoshi to visit your farm and make
    a movie???!!! I'd love to see all your lovely blooms sort of all together and where and
    how they grow. Yoshi loves to travel and make films. It's a match made in orchid
    heaven. Doncha think?

    Oooohhh nooooo, I don't have a Phal. lindenii in my collection! Is it a native orchid?

    Dendrobium bullenianum surprises me. It bloomed last January to March, and now a few of the plants are in bloom again.
