Tommy - it's beautiful. I love the color. And, your plant looks so healthy. Is it in a greenhouse?

I don't have any Vandas or Ascocendas yet, but I have a few on my list of "must-buy". I am adding Ascda. Susan Ong 'Ah Mooi' to the list !

Cheers,
Jo

Sooo pretty!

I've been on the hunt for it. The online orchid nursery that sells it sold out.

May I ask where you bought yours?

Gorgeous Tommy. Love the spotted purple (My favorite color).

Hi Tommy, it is a fine plant and a great pic. Thanks for the update. What is that in the background, it looks like an aero engine?

WOWWEE WOW WOW!!! I love the super distinct blue/purple spots against the white background. It's something special! I've not seen markings quite like that, ever.

I have this plant.. It was blooming when i purchased it over a year ago. The plant seems very healthy and is infact growing more leaves always. But no blooming

I suppose my question is, when is this plants normal blooming season, IE: spring, summer, fall, or winter? And what light is best for this vanda to induce flowering when it's time to flower..

Thanks in Advance

Christine

Christine, it sounds like you need a good culture sheet on vandas. A culture sheet will tell you what the plant wants/needs in order to grow and flower. You can get one at AOS | Home. Give it a read and let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks for the advice Kmarch. I read up on the vanda aliance and from what I can see.. I'm doing everything right. Right now, my "susan ong" is outside on my orchid table and is getting morning sun which is being filtered in the later part of the day by my outdoor unbrella.. LOL I noticed that its growing all these new roots and like I said before.. It seems really happy. Perhaps with it being outside for the first year this season.. It will bloom for me come time to bring it in or before that.. One can only hope.

Thanks again!

Christine
