Variegated Monstera Peru. Gift from a lady I bought some orchids pots from. I hope it doesn't revert to BORG.

Found this beauty in a local nursery for our neighbour who so generously loaned us a car for our three weeks trip.
RLC Pink Diamond Toy, a Cattleya hybrid I'm told.
So many here to choose from, I guess that's why they refer to Dipolog as 'The Orchid City'

Unexpectedly back here after 4 weeks in June. Every cloud has a silver lining, found this guy growing on old fence post in the wild next door.
Unknown orchid type.
Dipolog is known as The Orchid City, maybe we should go explore in the mountains and see what we see.

Another new thing! More Karri rough sawn timber, aluminium and steel, virgin cork bark, sphagnum moss and this time Bromiliad. And as previous, also needs hanging.

Another tray of Hoya Mathilde Splash cuttings double planted.
Selectively trimmed for the nicest splash foliage.
Will be perfect when ready in the spring.

Nepenthes not so much mounted on cork this time as much as stuffed in a small cork tube that was the perfect size, shape and length.

Nepenthes on cork again x 3.
This was not super easy to start with until I figured out what I'm doing wrong, still a little tricky but I got there.

Nepenthes mounted on cork. We've been doing a few different mounts recently and my awesome camera skills and backdrop aside, they've been turning out n looking good!

Is it wrong to have a favourite.....? And wish at the same time there were more variations n options of your favourite whilst still having a favourite.....? Am I a bad person.....?
