Bamboo Orchids, Arundina Gramnifolia

Bamboo Orchid, Arundina Gramnifolia, is a full tropical terrestrial sun loving plant. The stems can grow to 1.5 meters. Its flowers are at the very top which blooms one flower at a time. This orchid is a tropical Asiatic plant but become "invasive" and naturalized to other tropical countries outside Asia. It blooms all year round!

In my garden, I plant them in a high humus moist retention potting medium. Because I have to expose it to full sun (with some shade during noon time), the soil must be always moist.

If you have just bought one, treat it with TLC and it will surprise you one flower at a time!

Another shots of my spathoglottis collection. Honestly, I have no idea the names of these varieties. I still have 4 other varieties which are not in bloom. Maybe before the end of this year, they will bloom. Hopefully somebody will help me find their names. :-)

spathoglottis

Got these two varieties of spathoglottis when we went to Mabinay. I would like to thank the owner of the house where we stopped over for a shade for giving me these. The flowers lasted for more than six months . . . . they just continued to flower . . . . beautiful indeed!

Cattleya

I got this orchid last 2008 during the city fiesta. I forgot the name of the cattleya variety. Please comment if you have any idea.
