Added more endemic orchid species to Borneo

The grow space is now filling up at a faster rate than I thought, not surprisingly.. Among the additions are Dyakia hendersoniana, Paphiopedilum stonei and Paphiopedilum kolopakingii which are all species endemic to Borneo. I have also acquired a few different cultivars of Phalaenopsis bellina and Phalaenopsis corningiana. Very excited about their potential blooms. There are also other non-Bornean phal species in the mix that are not listed as well as a fair number of primary hybrids. More on these next time.
