Bulbophyllum vaginatum [Lindley]Rchb.f 1864
It is almost similar with Bulbophyllum medusae except that Bulb. vaginatum has bright yellow color.
Paphiopedilum glaucophyllum [J.J.Smith.]Pfitzer 1900
This species has very long blooming session because it could produce new flower successively once the old one is fallen. It rarely produce two flowers at the same time. Sometimes this species is mistakenly named as Paphiopedilum chamberlainianum
Dendrobium superbum Rchb.f 1864
Just looks like Den anosmum, except that it has shorter and thicker bulb and has dark purple color without fragrance.
Dendrobium anosmum Lindley 1845
This species is a native of Ambon (in Mollucca Island) and is as beautiful as its sister from Java. It has darker purple color and sweet fragrant.
Dendrobium anosmum Lindley 1845
This species comes from my homeland, Java Island (Indonesia). It is very common species here, and is usually cultivated on tree trunks. It blooms in the hot season when its cane is leafless, and during rainy season it produces a lot of keikis and new bulb. It also has a soft-purple color and nice fragrant. When you have one bulb, in a year it could spread to almost ten new plants. I had one long old bulb (about 1 meter) that produced almost twelve new keikis during rainy session. I could tell you that it is the easiest species to cultivate.
Dendrobium shiraishii T.Yukawa & M.Nishida 1992
This is different type of Den. shiraishii. The difference is on its labellum, which shows no reddish color. Overall, it looks like Den. macrophyllum, but with bigger size and less "hairy" appearance.
Dendrobium sanguinolentum Lindl. 1842
This is another variant of Den sanguinolentum. The difference from the previous one is the absence of bluish splash around the sepals and petals. Nevertheless, both are very attractive.
