Unknown Cattleya

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.

Dendrobium from WOS

One of the Dendrobiums from the WOS Spring Orchid Show 2007 burst into flower last week. The flowers are delicately scented and smell divine. Not sure which type this is... any ideas?

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.
