| 1. Dendrobium Sonia 'Royal Pink' |
Today the skies are quite clear in the morning, so I seized the opportunity to snap some pictures. This is my purple Dendrobium orchid, the same stalk of flowers that appeard in GBBD Oct, Nov and today, hence it has been blooming for more than 2 months already! I mean the same stalk of flowers. It certainly has amazing staying power.

| 2. Arundina graminifolia |
My Arundina graminifolia is a wild orchid with leaves like grass, stems like bamboo but flowers like orchids.

| 3. Dendrobium crumenatum |
This orchid bloomed a few days ago but I was not able to take a photo due to stormy weather. It last only a day. It usually opens in the morning and by afternoon it will be closed. This photo was taken in Oct 2011.
Other blooming flowers have been left out because it had already been featured in my previous months' GBBD posts.
This is my entry for Fertilizer Friday, hosted Glenda for hosting it at Tootsie Time
and Today's Flowers #174, hosted by team members Santilli - Denise - Pupo - Sandy Carlson here.
Update:
My grateful thanks to En Ahmad Makarimi of Orchids de Dangau blog for helping me name the orchids.
25 sweet words:
Lovely orchid! The first dendrobium is Dendrobium Sonia 'Royal Pink' and the native Dendrobium is Dendrobium crumenatum or known as pigeon orchid.
For me D. crumenatum has a weird musky scent that I find quite revolting. Yeah, on a hot day, it flops by midday.
Makarimi, thanks for the names!
Sean, strangely, I love the scent!
They are lovely. You caught wonderful shots of them.

Storczyki są prześlicznymi kwiatami, szkoda, ze nie mogą rosnąc w naszych ogrodach. Pozdrawiam
Cher, thanks!
Giga says, "Orchids are lovely flowers, pity they can not grow in our gardens". Thanks Giga! The orchids grow wild in our forests.
All are just beautiful. I'm lucky enough to have a Dendrobium crumenatum too, and I really love its little flowers.
Orchids are such exquisite flowers, I can see why people become collectors of them Yours are both lovely.
FlowerLady
you've such lovely blooms in your garden. i love orchids too but i don't have much luck to grow them.
Lovely, just lovely, Autumn Belle. If you include something we've seen before, it counts as a new visit to an old friend.
I have a single orchid plant in one of those tall glass containers that are popular here. It has never rebloomed but once in a while it gets a new leaf. I'll wait.
These are great shots, soooo beautiful orchids ...
Love Karin.
Your orchids are so pretty!
It looks like the ants in your garden is admiring your pretty orchids (last photo I spy some ants).
such beautiful Orchids. Thanks so much for sharing these.
Everytime I visit your blog, I always wish I could grow orchids. These shots are perfect that I can appreciate every detail of the orchids!
Nice orchids, particularly the white dendrobium.
Beautifully captured of the lovely blooms.
My Flower Happy holidays!
I thought i've already been here, maybe i'm mixed up. That white Dendrobium is so lovely in close-up photos, but i know how it looks in normal plant, which is not so eye-catching most especially because of the size and also close in one day.
In the 3rd pixz the flower seems to be like flying with wings spread out. Oh no besides having CVD Bananaz not good in smell also.
Those are really pretty colection of Orchids!
The white dendrobium is very eye-catching when it flowers in the wild as it does so gregariously (and the scent drives me nuts).
Oh my God! You are so lucky, I never able to grow them here :(
Stunning orchids ,my favourite flowers .
Nice photos
Orchid fowers, especially the Dendrobiums are so hardy, reliable and ever generous! You have a lovely collection. A.Belle.
D. Sonia is such a prolific bloomer for us and much loved for its long-lasting presence.
Beautiful flowers as always. I wish I could grow them - grow them well. All the best to you in 2012.
