I would like to share with you my variety of Mok. chak kuans that are presently in bloom.

I think I need a lesson in photography though...

Very nice! I am not familiar with this type of orchid. So pretty!

Thanks guys. They were imported out of Thailand.
They are warm loving and therefore requires full sun and regular feeding. Locally we refer to them as 'sun vandas'. I really enjoy growing them and get very excited when they bloom.

I love these vanda types! ...
I refer to them as 'Monkeys' ..

I love your 'monkeys', as Dorothy would say. Beautiful colors in all of them.

Nice pretty flower. They are tri-generics crosses.
Vanda x Ascocentrum x Arachnis and most of the plants are Ascocenda crossed to the Arachnis, and that why the flowers are very open. Ascocenda give the color and reduce the plant size and Arachnis give longer flower spike and frequent flowering. If you can give enough heat and light, the plant will literally throw flower spike almost every months.
