Whats Your Favorite Vanda and Why
 
I guess the title says it all? :roll: 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 :D

Who am I kidding??? I love them all :drool:

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! :biggrin: 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? :blushing:

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 :evil: 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
