New additions

Instead of mourning the death of my N0442 Phal bellina 'Ponkan AM/AOS' x 'Fifi' seedling from Orchidview, I decided to do two things - improve growing conditions by installing T5 grow lights and obtain more orchids (naturally). The surviving Phal bellina seedling I have is a standard form bellina from Oak Hill Gardens but this isn't quite enough after losing the Orchidview seedling. In light of this, I managed to snag var coerulea and var alba bellinas to keep the surviving seedling company. I also have standard form Phal deliciosa, Phal pantherina and Phal cornu-cervi coming my way next week so it'll be a good day when that happens!

These new species additions are now reflected on the list. I've included a list of other orchid species from various genera that are endemic to Borneo that I currently have growing with the phals.
