This plant was rescued from a nursery a few years ago where it was severly neglected. Had no idea what it was but took a chance and bought it.
It has rewarded me with a large single white flower each year for the past three years.

WOS Orchid Show - Spring 2007
Hooray! Spring has arrived! Just a few pictures taken today at the Witwatersrand Orchid Society (WOS) Orchid Show at the Johannesburg Botanical Garden, Emmarentia. I got three Dendrobiums to add to my collection.
WOS is one of the oldest orchid societies in South Africa, having been formed in 1964, under its original name of The Transvaal Orchid Society.

Tolumnia kinnaree
Bought this plant a few months ago and it flowered in June. The flowers on this guy is tiny. Can't make out the label properly but it seems to be a cross between Tolumnia kinnaree and something 'Catherine Wilson' - could be Oncidium or Tolumnia.
Good news is that it seems to be making new buds on the old flower stem. Yay!

Ludisia discolor
Ansellia africana
Ansellia is a genus of only one species, Ansellia africana, found widely through southern and tropical Africa.
The flowers are immensely variable - plants from the south have smaller yellow flowers and the northern types have larger yellow to light green flowers with chocolate brown spots.
This one is from Durban in the KwaZulu Natal province of South Africa. It started flowering in early June and is still going strong.
