Vascostylis Viboon Velvet ‘Perfection’

[Bud]

I've had this orchid for a couple of years now. It never did well in the original basket it came from and blasted some flowers leaving me four or five flowers each time, I gave it S/H method and now blooms several times per year. The flowers were bigger the last blooming cycle but it gave me more flowers (nine) this time. The lip is the brightest purple I have on any of my orchids, almost blue tinged….noticeable fragrance like the smell of floral soap early at night….the roots love to spring out from the lower leaves displacing the uniform arch formation and notice the second layer of buds blasted from the bottom making me nervous that the rest will not open giving me only two flowers; oh well I just fed it and watered it liberally ….overall it never gave me cause to worry….it is surviving in my care in spite of fungi infestation of the leaves that I am currently treating
