I could have introduced this in the Vanda forum, but since it is more than 50% falcata, I am starting here.
For the past year or so, this mini Vandaceous has been available from Hawaii. The full parentage is:
([{Rhy. coelestis x V. falcata} x V. vietnamica] x V. falcata, so it is 5/8s falcata. I sold one in bud last year, and buyer sent me a photo; it was out of focus, but the color was clearly reddish pink.
I have now bloomed 2 more, and the color range is apparently very broad. We don't know:
- Whether the Rhy. coelestis was blue or pink.
- Whether the first falcata was white or had some magenta (from a 'Shu-Ten-Nou' or similar).
- Vietnamica is obviously green, but that is followed by unceratinty about the second falcata.
