wish I lived in a warm place like you so I could grow vanda and stuff.

Here are a couple of pics from the last blooming. It doesn't seem to like being out of bloom, which works for me! And to give you an idea, the blooms are about 1.5-1.75 inch across. They smell kinda citrus fruity floral? Anyhow I just love it. If I see them again this season I just might pick up a couple more... oops. Lol.

And as far as Vandas, there are plenty of cold climate folks growing Vandas indoors. Check out Bud's posts. He is in Manhattan and grows on the fire escape in the summer and indoors in the winter. Look up vase culture if you aren't already familiar. Granted you need a bright window. Anyhow, if you really love a particular orchid, you can find a way to make it happy and bloom for you.
