A Few Orchids and a Couple non Orchids

[voyager]

I posted pics for this one a short while ago here:
Neobenthamia gracilis

Now, it looks to be turning into a weed orchid, or at least has the potential.
I'm happy with this.
Note the seed pods on the top of the plant where it was blooming.

I have been gifted keikis of this particular Dendrobium by three different people. It is quite popular around here.
Yamamoto Hybrid


Then, my Phalaenopsis Project, while not exactly thriving, is still in progress.

Yellow Phal


Then, the non orchids:

9 of my terrestrial Bromeliads are going to seed.
Here are 2 of them.

You might know them better as Pineapples. The one on the left is a white pineapple. The one on the right is the more common yellow type.

Then, what most of you know as a Split Leaf Philodendron house plant.

Around here they're known by their Genus name Monstera

Their species name is deliciosa because of these

The fruit of this plant is supposed to be "delicious", tasting much like a mix of several common tropical fruits. The mix varies as to who is describing the fruit.

The green tessellated rind on the fruit will begin to break into pieces and drop off, leaving the soft white interior exposed. There are some caveats concerning being sure that they are fully ripe before eating them. But, I'm going to give them a try when they're ready.

I can't imagine living in a paradise such as you live in. Phals mounted in trees! And your Monstera deliciosa is wonderful! I once actually got one to grow so large I had to give it to a hospital, where it grew in their entry; it's one of my favorite non-orchids!
