Dendrobium Pygmy Chip I just acquired this cutie yesterday, its loaded with flowers and buds and has about 16 canes! Each flower is only about two inches across, its truly a nice miniature plant. I’ve been wanting a latouria den for awhile >w<

#plants #plantblr #orchids #dendrobium #flowers #tbh i shouldnt be purchasing orchids right now since the SF Orchid Expo is next month buuuut. . . yknow #its too cute to resist #BOYYYYY ITS SO ADORABLE

Oncidium Tsiku Marguerite It has a total of five spikes, and these super cute tiny little blooms smell just like vanilla >w< Unfortunately however, I believe this is a seedling of that cross, so it bloomed far more white and Twinkle-like than Tsiku Marguerite is supposed to. It still has a very faint pink blush in the center, and its so pretty, so I dont mind too much

#plants #plantblr #orchids #oncidium #flowers #it would have bloomed better I think but when I first got it last year it had no roots #so it spent most of its growing time developing a root system #resulting in smaller pseudobulbs and less flowers #its still super pretty!#but I think someday I want to get a Tsiku Marguerite that is more pink

About a month or so ago, in the parkinglot of my mom’s salon I found these cute and strange mushrooms growing on one of the little islands. A week later, I return to this spot to find them on their side, inside out, reduced to an oozing shiny black sludge after the rain.

#plants #plantblr #fungus #mushrooms #fungi #i love fungi so much they're so silly looking and these ones look fluffy #also sorry about not being around for a long time I lost motivation for taking pics!

Oncidium Irish Mist ‘Big Hot Sun’ It just came into full bloom today, and I notice that it has a very faint, somewhat sweet fragrance

#plantblr #plants #orchids #flowers #oncidium #When I first bought it the flowers were more green than they were yellow but it rebloomed yellow for me #still really pretty and bright though #I didnt expect it to be fragrant at all but its a nice surprise that it is!

Phalaenopsis Pinlong Cheris

#plants #flowers #orchids #phalaenopsis #plantblr #she's one of my first orchids in my collection #this was her sad and tiny reblooming that happened last winter #im hoping that this winter she does a lot better since i've been giving her more attention!

Neofinetia falcata Amanogawa ‘天の川’ I just got this very recently from Seed Engei at the SF Orchids In the Park event without any flower spikes and yet it is already making buds for me! It has eight fans and bright ruby roots. It’s quickly becoming one of my favorites

#plants #orchids #neofinetia #plantblr #flowers #its name translates to Milky Way #quite fitting with its milky white tora variegation #this set up for the photos looks all professional but in reality it was literally sitting on the toilet seat lid #because the lighting was really nice lmao #also the buds are so cute and perfect looking #its supposed to smell like jasmine I cant wait for them to mature and open!

My Neofinetia falcata Amami Island bloomed for me with 11 flowers!

#plants #orchids #neofinetia #plantblr #flowers #he's really big for a neo its pretty amazing how hardy and large amami island type neos are #On the first day of blooming the flower smelled perfectly of sweet jasmine #but after being open for a couple more days the fragrance toned down to a sort of damp musky smell and it wasnt very pleasant #i wish that it stayed as the beautiful jasmine fragrance #maybe next year it will

Astrophytum capricone x asteria

#plants #plantblr #cactus #succulents #gardeners of tumblr #astrophytum #echeveria #This is a rather recent purchase from a wonderful Florida grower over ebay and is my first astro as well as my current favorite cactus #i really adore the flecking on it as well #and it has extremely tiny and insignificant spines that peek out of the sides of the puffs

My cute, everblooming Antherium! It always provides some good color to the shade window, especially when nothing else is in bloom

#plants #plantblr #botany #antherium #flowers #gardeners of tumblr #also im sorry that i've been absent for so long!#I got pretty lazy with tending to my blog

My nana’s plants on her balcony months ago when I had visited. Its such a peaceful little area. The tall one in the first photo is 30+ years old!

#plants #botany #plantblr #succulents #i want to get a cute little sunny balcony #and grow pretty plants on it

your orchid is stunning! the coloration is just wonderful

Thankyou, I appreciate it! c:

#bean whispers #anon #i think she's a really pretty phal too!

My big african violet is also blooming, this is the first time i’ve seen her flowers since I got her out of bloom, and im really happy with the color and ruffles! c:

#plants #botany #plantblr #saintpaulia #african violet #I had to heavily edit the warmth of the pictures because she was coming out incredibly blue on the camera #shes actually a really deep royal purple #the white frilled edges just make it so much better too

She’s in full bloom, and really beautiful!

#plants #botany #plantblr #orchids #phalaenopsis #flowers #I'm so happy with her color #I've seen many other striped orange-pinkish phals before but they always had plain lips #her lip is so vivid and bright and it makes such a nice contrast #i cant believe there was a time where i thought she was ugly because i dont really care for veined phals

guys what do you think?

a friend of mine asked me to suggest a house plant that is hardy (which “even an idiot can look after and won’t kill it” she said, lol). oh, also she said she’d be glad if it was something colourful maybe pink, lol. I can’t happen to decide on one. she’s kinda going through a rough time and it’s actually her birthday today, so I thought I might as well buy her one. lemme know if you have any suggestions at this point :)

Pink Anthurium comes to mind.

tetraspis-blog

I know that she already decided on a plant, but for the future what about an Aglaonema, or Chinese Evergreen? c: The Aglaonema Sapphire Suzanne has beautiful bubblegum pink stems, and there are also other varieties that have speckled pink leaves. I’ve seen them for sale on Etsy.

Another colorful type is Calathea. Most of them are darker greens and purples, but there are some varieties which have bright pinks. Calathea ornata is beautiful, it has pink stripes on its leaves which, in person, look like someone took a gel pen and drew it on from how solidly colored it is. Another pretty one is Calathea Triostar/Tricolor. It has beautiful color-blocked leaves with deep burgundy undersides.

If she ever wants a pretty hanging plant, then Wandering Jew is a wonderful houseplant. The regular one is purple-toned, but there are also types that have beautiful pink varigation on them so its a big mixture of purple, pink, and green.

If you cant find any of them in person, then purchasing online is always an option. c: Etsy has great sellers, and the reviews on their pages will tell you everything about their service. There are also a lot of wonderful sellers on there who sell succulents and cactus!

Neofinetia hybrid

I have no idea what the flowers look like on this one, it was my nana’s as a recent gift but she gave it to me since I could take care of it better. Its incredibly beautiful even without flowers and it has a really lovely large root system. I’m super happy to have it! c: It’s flowered many times before, and has plenty of little nubs started in the leaf folds to bloom some other year. Hopefully i’ll see what it has this year!

#plants #botany #plantblr #orchids #vanda #neofinetia #its roots are so nice and has so many growing tips #when it gets higher light like where its at now in the picture the roots turn a muddy color #it also gets purple-brown freckling on the stem and undersides of the leaves when in sun

The largest bud on my bigger african violet is getting color now! I’m so excited for it to bloom, I have no idea what the flowers look like since I was given it as a rescue out of bloom.

#plants #botany #plantblr #saintpaulia #african violet #flowers #I really would love to get some of the specialty hybrid violets that i see online #they grow SO FAST and are so easy to care for its amazing

Neofinetia falcata - Tenkei Fukurin (left), Kogane Nishiki (right), Shutenno (back)

My three neo babies soaking up some sunlight. I used to keep them at my shade window, but now they’re at the sunny window to get more color. I really want my Kogane Nishiki to color up a lot and get really beautiful and golden. :D

#plants #botany #orchids #neofinetia #my neos are some of my favorite plants I own #they're just such attractive plants #i cant wait to grow my collection of neofinetias #this june there is going to be an orchid show I want to go to in San Jose and my favorite vendor Seed Engei is going to be there #i really hope to purchase some neos from there and maybe some of the little dendrobium moniliformes!#hopefully I can get one that makes ruby roots #or an Oonami Seikai #Houmeiden would be wonderful but I think that one is out of my price range for now
