Lovely. What a nice way to spend a day.

Hard to ID the blue vanda but could be Pachara Delight and the other could be Brassia rex.

I did some research over the weekend. Yes, I thought so too that would be a brassia. Imported to the Philippines of course. And thanks Yew for the ID of the blue one...another Delight???? hahahahaha

thanks for sharing this, I'm drooling over the vandas

Hold it, Ed, because there's a lot more coming up.

Some goodies at the Cattleya section. That green one has a lovely fragrance.

It sure was, Bill. So many lovely distractions!

Cheerful mokaras, another vanda, and the occasional cymbidiums

wow. when did you visited the fair angel? I see Waling-walings in bloom. I really really like it.

It is a bi-annual affair in nearby Davao City, Medel. Waling-waling always abound in these local trade fairs escpecially since we live around the Mount Apo area. It is so representative of our locale.

That green catt looks like Blc Ports of Paradise . Those are pretty cymbidiums.

Yeah, now I learned that some Waling-waling blooms out of their season in your area. Anyway, you are very lucky You had immediate access to these beautiful species and hybrids of orchids. And I'm sure they are quite cheaper because your locale is the sources of Euanthe sanderiana orchids.

Thanks for the ID Yew Sung. It had a lovely fragrance. However, I'm not very fond of catts but they are lovely to see. I almost bought a cymbidium. However, I have miniature yellow which has been with me for 4 years now and has never bloomed. I'm afraid the same will happen if I bought another cymbidium.
