		<title>Creating Variations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Self-pollination can be done to produce a range of varying offspring. Usually, the offspring plant with the most desirable phenotypical characterisitics are selected for cloning (A.K.A. mass production). In reality, a batch of clones are not guaranteed to yield identical flowers. A slight degree of variance can still surface; and mutations (due to chemical/environment etc) amongst [...]]]></description>

		<title>Petal Fusion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have found a peculiar anomaly within our nursery. Previously, we have reviewed &#8216;Splash Mutations&#8217; that involves a rare splash-patterned pigmentation on the petal/sepals. In a nutshell, mutations are changes in plant/flower anatomy and characteristics, brought about by environmental and/or genetic factors. For this anomaly in particular, we have queried several growers whom have decades of experience;  and none of [...]]]></description>

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 [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Single Cross</title>
		<description><![CDATA[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 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spatulatas: The Curly Dendrobiums</title>
		<description><![CDATA[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 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Splash!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[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 [...]]]></description>
