My trip to Borneo

very nice report of your trip to Borneo. Thanks for sharing so many nice photos.
I have also climbed Gunung Santubong. It was a heavy trip to the top.

for the cornu-cervi alliance: pantherina is outstanding and ver easy to differentiate from other species of the genus. I believe, that in Sarawak occurs a natural hybrid between pantherina and lamelligera. The plants on the pictures, which you show above look like this.

here are some photos for comparison:
pantherina:













borneënsis











lamelligera, occurs in my opinion only in Sarawak, the normal cornu-cervi is not so common in Borneo.

and plants, which I believe to be natural hybrids between pantherina and lamelligera. I've only seen them in Sarawak:

Very interesting set of photos of pantherina. Great photography too.

Martin, thank you very much for the information, I feel much better at least you give me some information about the different of this species,I knew about that still not confidence enough to say that this is pantherina and that is lamelligera.The natural hybrids between this 2 species also very interesting I never thought until after you came out the beautiful set of photos.
What kind of orchid species did you get in Santubong Mountain?, I'm curious since I don't have opportunity to climb that mountain.

Endemic to Borneo very easy to grow unfortunately no fragrant.

Dendrobium hallieri the plant itself mimic like Dendrobium cruentum, the length of the pseudobulb is just about 7 inches to one foot in my hand. The petals is golden yellow in color with the labellum orange to red.

hi zain, love this dendro hallieri, fantastic shape and colors!

Beautiful Den hallieri. Is it the size of cruentum?

The plant exactly like Dendrobium cruentum in the form of shape and size except it's not frequent flowering. Dendrobium cruentum almost every single node at their stem will come out the buds in healthy plants provided you full fill it requirement. I hope your cruentum will do the same thing.Through my experience Dendrobium cruentum from Vietnam ? also known as suzuki (biggest flower) is not that easy to grow here.

That is heaven to me. Thank you for sharing these beautiful photos!

Vanda dearei native to Sarawak, story that I heard that this species almost extinct in the wild as a result due to over collected and deforestation, very strong fragrant.
