I'm not a fan of vandas but I really enjoy this one a lot! And those pictures are really fantastic. Love the markings on this one - what do you pot in, and how big does this plant get?
[EDIT] just checked IOSPE...apparently it's 'GIANT' sized..yipes!

Calvin, it's potted in a mix of coarse-grade coconut husk chips with a 2" layer of styrofome peanuts in the bottom of a plastic pot. I too read that it's eventually supposed to get big, but for now it's a tidy one foot in height.

Very beautiful.
It is native to my country, too. They wild plants usually grow high in big trees in virgin forests.

Pheli, can you tell me how big the plants you've seen in the wild have been, on average, please? Thank you.

The wild plants I have ever seen were averagely 2 feet in length.
In the photo, you can see the plants grow on the trunk of a big tree.

Thank you for the information and photograph, Pheli. It's always helpful to see how (and where) plants grow in their native environments.
Thank you, everyone, for your comments.
