some plants in my garden

Here's my phalaenopsis cornu-cervi x violacea

The pot of kaempferia galanga finally had its first bloom after so many months

Newly potted crypt pups

Nice kaempferia. I also have one common type with purple flower. Good plant to keep because the leaves are nice to see. Sometimes can get batik pattern.

isaac:yeah I had the kaempferia too wayy back the years but I gave it away because I had to cut back on some plants. I preferred that kaempfaria but my mum insisted that I keep the galanga instead of the other one.
audrey: yeah it's doing well in my garden despite other types of phals this one managed it good. It went through a lot of abuse in hot sun, heavy rain and now it's found a proper place among my Neps. And it's forgiven me by putting out a new leaf this week

Is your galanga what they called "sar geong" in cantonese? Use for cooking. Can't remember the malay word for it.

I may have it back in my hometown too. I'm a sucker for gingers.

Wait till I show you my Costus Barbatus. Just flowered 2 weeks ago, I'm so happy that I asked my wife everyone to see it. Now it's dangling pretty in my balcony. If only I have time to take picture of it. Everyday go back already dark. This weekend will try.

Rgds,
