HOUSE PLANTS

I rescued this orchid from the dump. Someone obviously threw it away after one of the 2 main stems died. I think it is a Vanda but I wouldn't know for sure until it flowers, that is, if it flowers under my care.

The bromeliad has also sent out the plantlet from the main plant.

A few of my other orchids are suffering from some fungal soft rot disease whereby the pseudobulbs and leaves become black and rotted.

The Bulbophyllum lasiochilum flower has finally faded after days of showing its best to the world.

The Hamelia patens flowers were also pollinated to form the black fruits.
