New Phalaenopsis and Vanda

 

Here are the pictures of the Hybrid Phalaenopsis and Vandas, Orchids are now in Nairobi and hopefully should clear soon. We’ll put up prices once we have received the plants.

 

I strongly suggest you do some research on the orchids you propose to grow to confirm they are suited to your climate (good books are most reliable or just google the name, for most there is plenty of info/help). All are subject to availability.

The Flower pictures are as examples of what the flowers will look like, not pictures of the plants for sale. 

New Orchid Import July 2017

 

Here are the new orchids set to fly on the 17th July. We also have five hybrid Phalaenopsis (moth orchids) and five hybrid Vandas which we are still waiting for flower pictures. Again we have plants that originate from all round the tropical world as well as numerous hybrids. Numbers of each type are limited, contact us if you want us to put any of these orchids aside for you.

We have some really interesting first time orchids with this order. The largest orchid in the world Grammatophyllum Speciosum, or Tiger Orchid with pseudobulbs over three meters long and flower spikes up to two meters. Stanhopea Wardii I have been trying to get my hands on for a while. Below are the orchids on offer, enjoy.

 

We have also brought back a number that we have previously ordered due to popular demand, such as Trichoglottis atropurpurea, Cattleya Yen 24 Karat, Rhynchostylis coelestis var pink, Bulbophyllum Medusa to name a few.

 

Orchids still in stock.

 

As always I have not bought many of each type, so book your plants early to save disappointment.

Vertical Orchid Garden

 

Vertical gardening has become quite a talking point over the last few years and we thought it was time to try a couple of vertical orchid garden designs. These were made at the start of December and are now showing decent signs of growth. We designed them just like a picture frame, you can hang them on a wall or they can hang like a sign post. These frames are very simple but you could use different wood, I thought old dhow wood would be rather nice. To hold the pictures hover you mouse over them.

 

 Many gardens here are walled which traditionally at the coast bougainvillea is the go to plant. But its a lot of work and not every-bodies cup of tea and tends to take up quite a lot of space depth wise. So these orchid picture frames are the perfect answer. Using the holy trinity when it comes to my sort of garden design, mainly orchids but also, Bromeliads and Tillandsia. 

 

On these two frames we have used a number of mainly large growing orchids. In a reasonably short amount of time they will cover the entire surface. We have combined orchids that’s flowers grow upwards and others that are pendulous. We have mainly picked orchids that are easy to keep and flower regularly and for long periods of time.

The frames can be moved very easily and take up a limited amount of space. If the area they are being displayed in is not suitable for watering they are easily taken to a different location to water or feed.

If your interested get in touch, happy growing. The Hanging Gardens
