Phalaenopsis cornu cervi. Second Place.

          Overall it was a modest show. Not many quality plants entered the competition. Nevertheless they still managed to put on a show even though without any truly showy plants. All the pictures were taken on the last day, so some of it were not so fresh anymore and started to wilt.

          Secara keseluruhannya dari segi jumlah pokok yang masuk bertanding tidaklah banyak. Tidak ada pokok yang betul-betul menyerlah. Gambar-gambar yang OC ambil ni pun pada hari terakhir. Sebab OC tak dapat hadir pada hari pertandingan.

The flower in the vase smiles, but no longer laughs.

Masdevallia dalessandroi

Named after its discoverer, Dennis D'alessandro, this Masdevallia species is a small jewel.  The species is from Ecuador and belongs to the section Masdevallia, the section to which many of the more colorful and spectacular species belong.  Though not as spectacular as some, the flowers have a quiet beauty of their own.  The plant is only 5 cm tall and the flowers are as tall as the plant and are carried on erect stems which hold them just above the leaves.

Masdevallia Ruby Slippers

Masdevallia Ruby Slippers is a hybrid of Masdevallia calura and Masdevallia coccinea.  I have two plants of this cross - they came together as one plant.  One has flowers that are rather light colored.  This clone has a flowers that are a deep reddish purple, a color that I find very difficult to capture with a camera.

 When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. 

I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not.
