All 3 are bred and locally raised in Singapore and are mounted on fern barks which is easy to maintain in our year round tropical & humid climate :D

All are gorgeous!

Thank you! Here's a picture of it on a fernbark :D

Those are spectacular!

Wow, such gorgeous ones.

I've just bought a bellina a couple of weeks ago and I really hope I can get it to flower as nicely as yours. (Don't know the variety).

OOO! 1 & 3 are gorgeous! Love the intense color of both and the shape of #3.

:love:
all so gorgeous!

Thanks!! They are doing well and all are having new leafs after 3months of acclimatizing at my apartment :biggrin:

btw...could u please tell me what is 'ponkan'? haha

The blooms are really something. How big do they generally have to be before they will start throwing out spikes?

hmm..i didnt really measure mine...but my bellina is about 5 to 6 inches leaves, and bloom once a year...^^

the one in the middel look like the one i got from germany, love all 3

mine started blooming at about 4.5inch leaf span :) Mine haven't stop flowering since February!

Hello, 'Ponkan' is a cultivar of bellina which have a sharp shape and wild like yours ! :) Its an expensive cultivar haha!

The smell of a newly bloomed bellina (the unripe smell) reminds me of the first time I grew Phals. as bellina is also my first!

Thanks! Happy growing :D
