Love the nature:
Tiger orchid (Orkid harimau)
Tiger orchid is often known as ‘The World’s Largest Orchid’. With pandan-like leaves but arranged like coconut leaves the stems can reach more than 1 metre in length. You can see this species at the beginning of a trail at Rimba Ilmu University of Malaya. It is a rare plant and grows in hot and humid rainforest such as in Malaysia and Sumatera region.
After 10 years grows in my garden, it finally began to blossom on last November 2009 and right now it is still blooming. People do say that it can stand more than one month. The stalks of the flowers are about 1 to 1.5m in length bearing more than 10 big flowers and they grow from the base of the plant! There are five petals with brown dots on yellow background just like leopard skin. It is a fragrance flower that we often .can smell it in the morning.
Orkid Mayang Mengurai:
Orkid Mayang Mengurai:
I haven't got the scientific name for this orchid. A friend of my loving sister gave this flower to her cos she gave up .....no flower produced after a year planted. Then my sister gave this orchid plant to me. Gosh! Thanks to God... finally this orchid blooming! We can see the long soft strand falling down with small flowers along just like 'bunga melati' that the Indian ladies woven for hair decoration. Just because it look like 'mayang kelapa' of coconut flower, I just call it as 'Mayang Mengurai'. It has a strong fragrance smell like bunga melati...but it is not long last. After a week fades away. The strands of this flower grow from the base of the plants.
Wild orchid
This purple wild orchid has fragrance smell. It is very beautiful and I luv it very much. Easier to flowering when it is exposed to sunlight. I bought it 10 years ago during Anggerik Festival in Shah Alam... still small plant at that moment. I still remember one Mat Saleh lady bought the bigger plant ..RM 70.00 without bargain..I have breed this orchid and it is quite easy to survive. Anyway do not give up if your orchids do not give any sign to bloom....InsyaAllah one day your dream will come true... Sabar itu separuh daripada iman.
