[paphioboy]

Mini sophrocatts or SLCs



Catt loddigesii



Dend sp


Some of the mounted plants were not shown to their best advantage, such as this dend lamellatum, as they were not hung.


Catt


Aerides lawrenceae


Catasetum tenebrosum


There were lot of other species but some of my pics didn't turn out good due to the messy background (we often have shows outdoors under canopies ) or insufficient lighting.

A few bulbos to tempt Rick

For sale: bulbo phal and beccarii


Bulo decurviscapum


Bulbo miniatum (3 bulbs for RM150, or close to USD45)!! One of the most expensive bulbos I have ever seen offered here. There was another species with the same price, bulbo tremulum. Both are from the same section as barbigerum.

Digging on those entrance-way "orchid trees" and psychedelic Spathoglottis! Too many to mention, but a couple of those Catts are fantastic, as are all the SE Asian natives, and that Catasetum - wonderful. Thanks for the look :clap:

 

[SlipperFan]

Impressive! Thanks for sharing. I wish I had room for the Arachnis longisepala.

 

[Marco]

I like the arachnis and the yellow sophrontis.
