Whats Your Favorite Vanda and Why

[DebsC]

I guess the title says it all? Except maybe, what's your favorite vandaeous type orchid vendor and possible why?

My favorite would have to be my V Pat Delight.
She's bloomed for me twice since October, this last time with two spikes...and still going strong!

This particular V Pat Delight came from Louis DelFavero in Tampa but I also love the Motes' vandas that I have

Who am I kidding??? I love them all

What's your favorite, Debs ?

Being the floofy-goofy catt person that I am, I only have 2, Ascda. Hilo Jewel 'Vi' from BarDavo Orchids and Vanda coerulea that originally came from Heavenly Orchid but was given to me by a friend.

I've been looking at vanda's though. I love the long roots! I love all orchid roots! I love big flowers and fragrance and lots of bright colors with long and often bloom times. Gee, I don't ask for much, do I?

I thought asking this question might reveal the virtues of certain ones and I could use that as a guide.

my favorite are neofinetias, small fragrant and can grow warm

Ascocenda Princess Mikasa, smaller and proven performer in less than ideal vanda conditions.

Marco, would you care to elaborate? What is it about neofinetias that make them your favorite?

I will definitely check out Ascocenda Princess Mikasa Sounds like a good one and I thank you for your opinion, Ironwood.

I too love the Princess Mikasa, but Vascostylis Pine River Blue is a real beauty. Small flowers, usually two spikes and blooms twice a year. Nice compact size! Move over Princess M. Since if first posted this I decided to add a pic to my gallery. Check it out.....ain't she loverly!

For me it is the Vanda Tri Color, I have been enjoying the Species Vanda more so now then the hybrids

Dusty265 - Do you have a pic. of your V. Tri Color.? Someone gave me a small plant but I've never seen in bloom. Was wondering the color? It was bare root with two growths side by side and I put in a basket. New roots and top growth in evidence now. Had about a month or so
