Waling-Waling
By livelifeandlove on April 14, 2016
Waling-Waling or Vanda Sanderiana is the ”Queen of Philippine orchids has a very distinctive spotted petals. It produced fully opened shapely blooms with a degree of striking violet spotting and white edging that tends to look better in upright position. With the intense work carried by nurseries of today, this rare kind becoming more accessible however, the rare specimen still costly up to the present.
Orchids are very difficult to grow, given the right care, they will flower regularly 2x to 3x a year. Orchid habitats are certainly being destroyed in other parts of the world, using the modern technique of tissue culture, rare species are now being multiplied.

Orchids
By livelifeandlove on April 9, 2016
Fascinating and very decorative in value but growing is relatively not that simple because the ideal temperature admittedly not that easy to achieve especially if you are living in the Philippines. Many people wants to grow only fragrant flowers like roses and Sampaguita which is the national flower in the Philippines because it’s easy to handle but still some prefer orchids because of its beauty and elegance.
If you are an orchid lover or collector, soon you will learn to be an expert grower or perhaps to propagate and breed your own hybrids.If you think about orchids seed production, germination and all structures for growing to create glass house, greenhouse sterile containers and all number of tasks to be carried out. Ohh! it’s a tough work for me! Anyway, all efforts soon will be rewarded to see the long lasting colors.
The elegant display were selected for their rarity and unique color. Other varieties are already common and increasingly affordable nowadays however, the waling-waling type is very costly and often cost thousands of pesos and still very expensive up to the present. Check Waling-waling below.
Waling-Waling or Vanda Sanderiana with striking violet, purple and fuchsia tones with elegant spots which is an interesting combination. Of course ! I want to have an extremely beautiful collection like this one but waling-waling is just as too expensive.
In here, you will see orchids with the best known graceful and expensive species of Phalaenopsis varieties.Long and lasting available in full range of colors.
I was inspired to see the beauty of phalaenopsis, it’s a pleasure to savour. It’s worth to see and appreciate in close distance. Characterized with graceful bloomers is a reasonable return for my effort.
Aiming for more elegant varieties, I would like to have Cattleyas, Miltonias, Paphiopedilums, Cymbidiums and Odontoglossums. Other kinds like Vandas, Allied Genera, Dendrobiums, Calanches and other cool and tropical orchids too. Soon to come on next posts.
