Care for more orchids?

I have not been posting here because I am minding my newer blogsite, which I want more people to see than this site. Anyway, there are more people who already know this. But in contrast with that one, which details all our plants in our province property, this older site has more subjects for posting. All the things i encounter in my travels, including animals and whatever are posted in this site. And of course, garden shows, orchid shows or even sunset shows are presented here! Now back to my topic.

Top and bottom are Vanda sanderiana (Euanthe sanderiana), the pride of the Philippines, as it is native here. They are formerly found in our forests and when orchids became famous demanding high price in commerce, they got lost in the natural habitat. They are now found in expensive and big nurseries, or conservatories in temperate countries. These are mostly the parents or grandparents of most Vanda hybrids now in circulation.

I heard from an orchid photographer and editor during the last Philippine Orchid Society show, that in most orchid exhibits, the Phalaenopsis never fail to catch visitors immediate attention! I observed the visitors, and somehow that is really correct. Maybe the forms, colors and flamboyance of Phalaenopsis make the scene. The individual flowers manner of following the line or habit in the spike is also very formally arranged, and no individual flower seem to be out of place. Look at the above white Phals and the succeeding three hybrids, and they never fail to follow that rule.
