New additions to the balcony


Alright, yes, I have to stop adding soon.  The minute I delve into orchids.... that's the end, I will have so many varieties, I wouldn't be able to stop.  But let's start (stop?) at two.

The first is a miniature which gives out a honeysuckle fragrance.  The stems are of the cattleya's type.

The second is a small orchid plant, with a very sweet scent.  Another variation has larger dark pink blots on its blooms, but they were asking for 1100thb, I figured this one, at 100thb was almost as good, and a good buy.  The more expensive one was prob a species and mine, a hybrid.

actually, i just came back from a weekend trip to sangklaburi and the 3 pagoda pass (border town with myammar), and they were selling lotsa exotic wild orchids (prob endangered to - i see where the danger comes from!), the thai friends were telling me they were. They both bought 1.000bht worth, which to them was very very cheap. i was tempted to buy one...
