a visit to the farm series 39

[ntgerald]

Finally, we had a respite from the rains and/or strong winds. There are several more photos that need editing before they can be posted. I shall be adding them in a couple of days.
One of the travails of growing plants outside is the grime that accumulates on the leaves, stems, and even the blooms. Hence, I sometimes edit those.
Phalaenopsis bellina is a Bornean species and is not found anywhere in the Philippines. Still, it is a species that I love, and its beauty simply cannot be ignored. Plus, it smells wonderful.
Aerides odorata is also fragrant, one that can be quite assertive with its musky undertones.

Thanks, Nelson for the trip! Fantastic blooms!

Beautiful pics, I am not really that big of a phal fan, only because I like more up-right foliage, but I want one of these!

A wonderful trip to your farm as always! I love them all but the Phal Bellina is gorgeous even if it is not native. Thanks for the trip and wonderful photos

Beautiful Phal bellina! And I love the color on the Ceratostylis retispuama too! Thanks for these and looking forward to the others you plan to post.

Cheers,
