Poinsettia 2014
I've been mostly absent from this blog for the past few months. I need to make some time to blog. The Holiday season is upon us and I just can't resist the seasonal poinsettias. Red is most common, but other colours, including white and pink, are also available. I purchased this small red one recently and it's at my office for now.

Dendrobium Pure Doreen
I originally purchased the parent plant of this hard-cane dendrobium two years ago as a bareroot. It was labelled "Pure Doreen". I can't seem to find pictures of this cultivar online to confirm, but I hope it's not a mislabel. I have reason to be skeptical because I have received too many orchid mislabels.
Only afterwards did I notice something didn't look right with the canes. It turned out that the plant was dying, but it did produce a long beautiful spike of flowers, its swan song of sorts. Fortunately, all was not lost, as it also produced a keiki just before it died.
The keiki grew slowly, as most orchids do, and finally graced me with its lovely maiden blooms. Its purple and white two-toned flower is quite pleasing.
