At first I thought of naming all the pictures. I even refer to books for their names. I gave up after a while as I got confused with the shapes, colors and varieties.

My apologies if you found the names of the orchids were wrong. ... (more)

Hi Goh, i see that you've made the corrections, however the last row is mixed up, the 2nd picture should be Dendrobium and the last picture is a Cattleya. Thanks so much for sharing the wonderful photos !!

Hi Goh, very nicely taken shots. Was it during the recent FOMOS golden anniversary show 2008 or last year's floral festival?. You have wrongly named the varities. They shold be as follows :- 1st. row no. 3 = Dendrobium. 5th row no. 4 & 5 = Spathoglottis. 6th row 1st = Spathogolottis and 5th should be Vascostylis. 7th row 5th = Teres Vanda and last row 2nd = Dendrobium
