I recently purchased blooming Vanda tricolor var suavis. Needless to say that seeing an actual bloom just made this Vanda as one of my favorite orchids. I am truly amazed with the uniqueness of individual variety of this orchid from different areas.
Even on one plant, each flower is unique with different spot pattern. They are also very fragrance before mid afternoon. Seeing this orchid, one cannot resist the temptation to take a closer look and smell the pleasanant scent.
I am looking forward to expand my collection with Vanda tricolor from different areas around Indonesia. Prior to purchasing this flowering Vandas I have acquired 5 blooming size of Vanda tricolor var suavis from Eastern part of Java and seedling of Vanda tricolor var alba. I can't wait when they all flower and enjoy the variations of this beauty.
Please enjoy the many faces of Vanda tricolor from my orchid garden.
