Phalaenopsis equestris var rosea (Ilocos)

In the Philippines, this variety comes from extreme northern Luzon. In contrast to the usual P. equestris, they have bright pink floral parts, which makes them very attractive. The plants are smaller than the usual P. equestris.

Flickingeria fimbriata - many times ignored!

Probably because it is very common, can grow like a weed, and its blooms last only for a day. However, when it does bloom like this plant with multiple flowers, it can be a sight to behold.

Aerides inflexa dark pink color form





One of my most favorite plants. The color is very striking, and very fragrant. It is probably found in  a number of Philippine locations; I just do not know where.

Bulbophyllum facetum


In my opinion, possibly the most beautiful Bulbophyllum. Endemic to the Philippine Cordilleras.

Cirrhopetalum (Bulbophyllum) trisetum






This plant was from Negros island. It has a number of synonyms (Bulbophyllum clavigerum [Fitz.] F. Mueller 1884; Bulbophyllum kenejianum Schltr. 1913; Bulbophyllum layardii [F. Meul. & Krnzl.]J.J.Sm. 1912; Bulbophyllum trisetum Ames 1912; Cirrhopetalum africanum Schlechter 1915; Cirrhopetalum clavigerum Fitz. 1883; Cirrhopetalum kenejianum Schlechter 1915; Cirrhopetalum layardii F. Meuller & Krnzl. 1894; Cirrhopetalum longiflorum [Thou.]Schlechter 1915; Cirrhopetalum thomasinii Lindley ex Josst 1851; Cirrhopetalum thouarsii Lindley 1824; Cirrhopetalum thouarsii var. concolor Rolfe 1892; Cirrhopetalum trisetum (Ames) Garay, Hamer & Siegerist 1994; Cirrhopetalum umbellatum [Forst.] Hkr. & Arn 1832; Cymbidium umbellatum [Forst.] Spreng. 1815; Epidendrum umbellatum Forst. 1786; Inobulbum layardii (F.Muell. & Kraenzl.) M.A.Clem. & D.L.Jones 1998 ; Phyllorchis clavigera [Fitz.] Ktze. 1891; Phyllorchis longiflora Kuntze 1891; Phyllorchis thouarsii [Lindl.]Ktze 1891; Phyllorchis umbellata [Forst.]Ktze. 1891), and is very widely distributed, almost throughout the orchid world, except for the Americas.
The generic name depends on whether you are a splitter (Cirrhopetalum), or a lumper (Bulbophyllum, from section Cirrhopetalum).
One of the most striking Cirrhopetalums, in my opinion.
