Euanthe sanderiana blooming in a glass vase

[Bud]

"Called "Waling-waling" in the Philippines (sold as cut flower in floral arrangements) and is also called Sander's Euanthe, after Henry Frederick Conrad Sander, a noted orchidologist. The orchid is revered and is worshiped as a diwata(deity) by the native Bagobo tribe in the southern islands.
Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach originally named Euanthe sanderiana as Vanda sanderiana.
It has two forms, pink and white, also referred to as alba. M. Roebelin discovered the original pink variety in the Philippines in 1881 or 1882. Rudolf Schlechter separated Euanthe from Vanda in 1914 due to structural differences in the flowers. For breeding purposes and registration by the Royal Horticultural Society, however, it is still treated as a Vanda.
Euanthe sanderiana is endemic to Mindanao where it is found on the trunks of dipterocarp trees at elevations below 500 meters. Over-collected, the plant is considered rare in nature. It is often used in hybridization.
Studies have shown that when raised at high altitude, the plant bears flowers early"-wiki

This is hung on my fire escape bareroot in the summer (NYC has heat and humidity that vandacious love)watered twice a day and soaked for 5 min in seaweed and worm tea mix and then in winter it is placed inside a large glass vase with large coconut chip, clay, charcoal and lava rocks media at the center of my bathroom window. It is hand sprayed everymorning and once a week soaked for 5 min in a mixture of worm tea and seaweed mix in a large basin.
I use a diamond coated drill and glass must be at least 1mm under water for the drill not to overheat...once I learned to drill holes in glass...I repot most of my plants in glass especially those I put in S/H method
