Hi all, I thought I share some of the photos that I took of some of my collection of jewel orchids with you all. Treat this as an appetizer. More to come soon. http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd213/benjisouthall/Jewel Orchid/jewel_1_web.jpg http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd213/benjisouthall/Jewel Orchid/jewel_2_web.jpg http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd213/benjisouthall/Jewel Orchid/jewel_3_web.jpg http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd213/benjisouthall/Jewel Orchid/jewel_4_web.jpg http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd213/benjisouthall/Jewel Orchid/jewel_5_web.jpg http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd213/benjisouthall/Jewel Orchid/jewel_6_web.jpg http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd213/benjisouthall/Jewel Orchid/jewel_7_web.jpg
Nice photos schong!! : ) I don't think it is an orchid though, do you know the botanical name?? love the foliage. BTW you can upload photos direct on this site... Ed
Hi Ed, The photos are actually jewel orchids. I should have included the names, my bad. The botanical name is Ludisia Discolor. The other one is called Goodyera Hispida also known as "The Shagy Goodyera". I actually have the Anoectochillus Albo Lineatus and it looks almost the same but the leaves are much more rounder. I've attached the photo of the Anoectochillus as a comparison. You can find all the infomation about all these orchids and all the rest of the orchids here. www.orchidspecies.com Cheers, SimonChong
