thank you so much. Your garden/plant collection and others as well keeps me inspired and sustains my enthusiasm as a gardener. That's why i should be the one to say "thank you" to you and to others as well for all the information and valuable knowledge i acquire from all of the member's plant/orchid experiences.

On with the show :
This garden snail is so big but i dont want to kill it though i see a number of them in my garden. Sorry mother nature, if i "accidentally" stepped on them. Actually, if i see a centipede or a scorpion or get my face tangled in a spider web in the morning i just let them be except for snakes or poisonous critters that can kill me.


When i bought this at a very cheap price since i had a feeling that they just got this from the forest and as a "conservationist" somehow, i was not really expecting it to live especially when i was so very busy with work and other priorities. This one thrives on neglect. I put it on a high branch of my mango tree and i assure you i can only count how many times i was able to water this fellow. Since then, i put most of my orchids with "chamber like bodies" on places where it will not be disturbed and be watered unintentionally. Though i don't know the name of this baby but it can take the whole branch of my mango tree...hehehehehe. More babies to come....


as you can see, i put my newly purchased orchid again on a high branch of my mango tree. (the one with the long, small flowers)


my usual blooming orchid


can't wait for summer for this baby to flower in full-force:


Have a Blessed Christmas and a Healthy and Joyful New Year to us all.

Godbless
moja, that orchid in the 3rd pic is dendrochilum, but dont ask me the sp. name. i have dendrochilum /acoridium tenelum, you should try and get it. it looks like grass and likes warmish conditions. i would say it would like it up there, just dont let it dry out to much.
