Vanda Rothschildiana

[makaldoy]

I bought and nurture this for near a year ago. It has 2 keikis, the small one in front and a near blooming size behind. I got this before with 2 spikes and after 3 months it rebloomed but only 1 spike that time. This year it started initiating her spike last month and gave me 2 spikes again but unfortunately 2 buds dropped

A really fast growing vanda almost doubled her height in less than a year.

Beautiful. I wonder who sells this plant in the U.S.

Thanks Naoki. I wish someday you'll obtain one too and I'm sure you will love it. At first I thought this was an expensive buy (roughly $18) but as months passes by and see the plant and its keikis grows really fast then I realize it's a worth buy. As you can see leaves are almost complete from bottom to top.

Amazing! Does it have a fragrance? How often does it bloom?

Absolutely gorgeous! According to Martin Motes Vanda Rothschildiana is the most famous Vanda Coerulea hybrid. It is a cross between V. Coerulea and V. Sanderiana. I would love to get one.

Thanks Paul and Tucker for your kind comments. To answer Paul's question, this Vanda doesn't have any fragrance and it blooms I think twice a year. Example it bloom now after 2 or 3 months it will rebloom again (my observation to this vanda) and same thing might happen again by next year (probably due to Vanda Sanderiana influence).

And for Tucker's comment, thanks a lot sir for your informative fact about this Vanda.

Added info, this is also one of early vanda hybrids about 80yrs ago if I'm not mistaken.

A mythical hybrid of the 2 mythical species Vanda sanderiana and Vanda coerulea !!

Vanda Rothschildiana was registred in 1931 by Chassaing a French hybrider.
