Umm... You raise water hyacinths, Hardy..? Don't they grow almost everywhere very easily..? I think there's another terrestrial orchid mixed with your Cym Golden Elf 'Sundust'. I don't think cyms have plicate leaves..

I'm from Malang, East Java.
It's quite near Bali and very near Mt Bromo.

It's Eicchornia azurea, the one used for aquascaping, not the weed Eicchornia crassipes.

Oh yes, I have some spathoglottis, so there are spath seedlings all over the place.

Hardy,
Welcome from Florida USA. Enjoyed both your comments and pictures very much. Hope you find time to share more of you familys plants and experiences.

I'm from Malang, East Java.
It's quite near Bali and very near Mt Bromo.

I heard the Mount Bromo area is very beautiful, much like a tropical version of the USA's Yellowstone Park. With many hot springs and other volcanic features. I also heard that Mt. Bromo has had an occasional minor eruption recently, are you far enough that you won't get buried in ash when something more than a minor eruption happens?

 

[hardy]

It is beautiful, and has been the major tourist attraction of East Java.
The Bromo-Semeru complex is an active volcanic area, but 2 hours away by car, we only get light showers of fine ash when the volcanoes erupt.

My place is on the slope of Mt Arjuno (part of the Arjuno- Welirang complex). Its crater is extinct but the slope has many hot springs and sulfur holes. In contrast to Bromo, this complex is heavily populated. My home is next to Batu. The map:

 

[SlipperFan]

Wow! It does look like a very beautiful place. And with such a varied landscape, everywhere you look must be impressive.

How do you grow the spathoglottis you have??? what potting mix do you use??? TY...
