Yellow Vanda Orchid

These flowers are very abundant in Davao City, in fact this branch of yellow Vanda orchid was photographed in one fine morning while having breakfast at Grand Regal Hotel, Davao City.

They used the flower as an ornament in every dining table.

Pink Ground Orchid

Rather than in the air ground orchids grows in the soil and are also known as Terrestrial Orchids. There are a lot of species that were successfully grown today and this pink ground orchid is one of them.

This photo was taken at Bukidnon at my sister in-law's front yard. She actually gave me seedlings, I hope it will grow well here in CDO and will give us pretty blooms too soon.

Dendrobium

The largest genus of orchids established by Olof Peter Swartz a Swedish botanist in 1799 is my 7th entry for Today's Flower and my 6th for Mellow Yellow Monday.

Dendrobium was derived from a Greek dendron which means "tree" and bios meaning 'life', therefore the word dendrobium means "one who lives on trees" or an epiphyte.

That's it! a pretty non parasitic plant dendrobium.
