Blooming now (2009-11-12)


Vanda orchids are generally known for growing in warm conditions.  There are Vanda species, like V. coerulea and V. tessellata, that can be grown in cooler conditions.  But I don't normally think that Vanda hybrids can tolerate cool conditions.  Well, the orchid in the picture is Vanda Robert's Delight, which I have had for several years.  I admit that it is not in the best growing condition, but it does bloom for me off and on as it has now.  I believe that my extra care for these orchids this summer may be paying off.  I have some plans for this winter so that these more tender orchids are better protected during our coldest days.
