Recent additions to the collection...

I've gotten rid of several bulbos and other non-blooming stuff to make way for these

Colmanara (Odontocidium) Wildcat (regular form):

C. Wildcat (red form), not sure if it is the 'Bobcat' clone, the flowers sparkle in sunlight..

Tolumnia hybrid (NoID) - I was quite surprised by this Tolumnia, usually I don't see growths with this many leaves... Someone told me its due to superior culture but I think it might have been hybridized with another genus (Rodriguezia?) cos the leaves are thick and much more rot-resistant when exposed to heavy rain compared to older varieties..

Renanthera Kalsom, a hybrid frequently entered in competitions over here.. but seems not very free flowering.. The plant I bought is a first-time bloomer.. Wonder how long I'll have to wait to see another display like this...

Good acquisitions!

 

[JeanLux]

nice bloomers, esp. the renanthera!!! Jean

 

[Pete]

wow
how is it that bulbos dont flower in malaysia?

 

[Shiva]

That's sure to brighten up your day, and yes the renanthera is gorgeous. The colmanara may be the Red Cat clone.

Nice buying, the Renanthera should continue to flower like this, the plant is big enough. Mines about 1/10 th the size.

Thank you for the kind comments

Pete, bulbos do flower in Msia, but oh-so-seasonally and only last a few days. I'm still keeping a few (Cirrhopetalum) which are more free-flowering, like lepidum and a few hybrids.

Great choices!! Beautiful blooms, all of them! The Tolumnia looks huge!

 

[goldenrose]

My 'Bobcat' looks exactly like yours! Those Wildcat clones are nice!
The Renanthera are spectacular!

 

[Yoyo_Jo]

Wow, great additions! I especially love your Tolumnia hybrid. :smitten:

 

[Clark]

All thumbs up!
What did you do with the bulbos?
8th photo- Is it windy by you? Looks like you put rocks to hold them against fence.
Thanks and Happy New Year!

 

[Bolero]

They all look really nice but in particular I love the Tolumnia.

 

[SlipperFan]

Great additions. I especially like the Renanthera.

Thank you all.. I hope I don't kill them. The Wildcat seems pretty fragile, some leaves have burnt even though I keep them under shade. I always assumed its quite a tough plant...

Clark, I sold off the bulbos that I'm not keeping. Still have about 15 or so different types.. If they don't flower soon, gotta make way for new babies..
