I believe there's only on or maybe two trees left in that area now. <br /><br />Tagaytay is a few miles from where I live, so I go to Gintong Talulot instead. The farm, owned by Mr. Ibarra Perliti, is located in Tiaong, Quezon. Aside from the wonderful vandas, you are also treated to the wonderful personality of Mr. Perliti.Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04529604196418299272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7006842863015422785.post-11272666261137703862012-01-01T10:23:07.686+08:002012-01-01T10:23:07.686+08:00Hello.

I just learned that Ibaan town was also named after a tree, the iba or Phyllanthus acidus. <br /><br />The orchids you could people from Centris sunday market.

When it blooms, it is, indeed, a spectacular display. I am NOT particularly crazy about the fragrance, but a whiff of it just soothes my soul. <br /><br />I am from Ibaan, Batangas, and I am wondering if there are any orchid nurseries here (the stalls at the SM malls price the orchids horrendously). I have visited the Gintong Talulot at Tiaong, Quezon, but they have vandas mostly. Where is the most economical place to get orchids, aside from going into the mountains in Cebu?Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04529604196418299272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7006842863015422785.post-52535828491208843392011-12-12T06:14:26.645+08:002011-12-12T06:14:26.645+08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Johnnybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18299255498842631098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7006842863015422785.post-64866555479679386432011-12-12T06:14:09.381+08:002011-12-12T06:14:09.381+08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Johnnybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18299255498842631098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7006842863015422785.post-23422092230808263532011-12-12T06:12:12.356+08:002011-12-12T06:12:12.356+08:00Sanggumay pala name ng orchid na yun, we have it h...Sanggumay pala name ng orchid na yun, we have it here growing wildly from tree to tree, but for me....i love the smell!

It seems D angustifolia has more branches and narrower leaves. Can you please tell me its obvious difference, so i know what we have at home in Batangas? Thanks for the information, i thought all of them are D fragrans.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7006842863015422785.post-58129580878227992332011-03-25T10:03:55.265+08:002011-03-25T10:03:55.265+08:00Sige I ll wait for one in bloom.

I believe it also has very fragrant flowers, reported nocturnal.metscaperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05648670389826317897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7006842863015422785.post-56416361091026196092011-03-25T09:34:06.968+08:002011-03-25T09:34:06.968+08:00I am glad you're back as i am waiting for your...I am glad you're back as i am waiting for your posts. We have the purple in Batangas but i still havent got the white variety, which i had long been intending to do. If you dont want its smell, wait till you smell the flowers of Dracaena fragrans, or the corn plant/fortune plant! If you do post how you reacted to the smell!!! hahaAndreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.com
