Renantanda hybrids (Renanthera x Vanda) are generally red/orange in colour due to the dominant red of Renanthera lineage. Yellow coloured Renantanda are a rare occurrence. Renantanda usually produce large blooms and numeral sprays of flowers; side sprays are common too . Renantanda flowers generally last for more than a month from bud to bloom. This [...]
Frequently unknown to most layman, orchids can produce many phenotypic colours and traits in a single cross with multiple alleles suppressing each other. Taking for example the above crossing between the brown curly, purple lipped Dendrobium Spatulata and yellow and red lipped Dendrobium SGH. Their progenies gave rise to a bizarre phentypic combination of orchids [...]
Spatulatas (Dendrobium Lasianthera), originate primarily from Papua New Guinea, Eastern Indonesia and variably across Southeast Asia and the west Pacific Islands. Their originating sources are frequently from pristine, undisturbed forest. Spatulatas orchids are very colourful and resilient Dendrobiums and can grow to a large majestic size as seen in the photo above. Spatulatas do very [...]
Splash mutations are well sought after by many collectors and hobbyist as they occur very rarely, maybe one plant in a thousand of non-mutants. Splash mutations are mostly unstable mutation and can only be propagated vegetatively to reproduce more of them. Thus, their rare occurence and difficulty to reproduce augmented their value as collectibles. If [...]

This progeny has a remarkably red tongue and smooth colours descended from both parent plants and its vegetative growth more similar to its Phalaenopsis. This variety is not the original Doritaenopsis Purple Gem registerd by E.Iwanaga in 1963 but a more [...]
