Ascoglossum calopterum

Ascoglossum calopterum (Rchb f) Schltr 1913 first time blooming at my house. I got the plat from Sulawesi probably about a year ago. The plant was placed to receive the sun from morning to just before noon, and not under a shade.

Enjoy!

Dendrobium derryi Ridl 1907

Dendrobium derryi Ridl 1907 is found in Sumatera, Kalimantan, and Malaysia. My Dendrobium derryi is from Sumatera. When i received the plant, it has no live root at all. I was worried that this plat which belong in the Oxystophyllum section will not make it.

After a few months, there was a new bulb. And then more bulb. And after so long (probably almost a year), it bloomed for the first time, and only one flower.

I put the slab under open air, no shade at all. However, the roof of my house protect it from the mid day to afternoon sun.

Enjoy!
