Ah… someone is rushing me for an update huh… Lol… I shall give you one!

Been a lil busy from work and all. You know how tiring it is to work at Starbucks during the day and then sing at the nite… It is worse if you have to wake up at 5.30am for an opening shift the next day. Now I know why people always say that studying is better than working. Argh… But let’s not go into that today.

As mentioned earlier, I attended the December OSSEA meeting last Sunday. Just realised that I forgotten to explain what’s OSSEA, simply Orchid Society of South East Asia. Got another 2 orchids from that, one that I bought and the other from lucky draw! Lucky me!

Been trying very hard to make space for my plants at my place. Lotsa squeezing and stuffing. Pardon my lousy phone camera but this is how my orchid corner looks like now:

The huge boney organism is the one I bought (Close-up photo in a while). You see some orangey stuffs? That’s the flower of the orchid I got from lucky draw. There are also some which are throwing influorescence like the one in the middle! I have 12 orchids in total : )

Here you are, boney guy! The name is Vanda Chao Praya Violet, a highly scented hybrid. I’m not kidding, the blooms smell like perfume, in the day. This is my first attempt on vandaceous orchids, hopefully it will survive and rebloom. My high rise location makes it really challenging for me. Low humidity, too windy and all… A side note, vandaceous orchids are those orchids that grow from a single bud with either ovoid or cylindrical leaves. They seldom produce side shoots, which means that they will grow taller and taller to a few metres. The national flower of Singapore, Vanda Miss Joaquim is a vandaceous orchid.

The lucky draw plant. The very sweet looking Thwaitesara Orange Nugget. I wonder why the hybridizer gave it such a weird name but it is nice isn’t it, we don’t always see orange orchids. Sadly, this one isn’t scented.

That is all for the orchids. Btw, I’ve watched Bolt! It is uber cute!! Will try to write something about it soon. Till then!
