No, I don't want this plant out of the vase, hence I will not keep it once it grows above the vase too much.
The leaves are quite long and would take up too much space it if it wasn't inside this container. plus, all the roots would also be wondering around, which I hate epiphytes for.

Maybe I should have kept the blue one too which had much shorter leaf span. Oh, well...too late now.

Great idea, but that will be when the plant gets very tall. not sure if it will be here by then. hahahaha

It looks a lot like kultana's version of Somsri Pink.

There are a couple of lookalikes, but can't tell, of course.

I contacted the seller on the lable it came with, but they never responded.
Ghost company (or fake phone number and email), or they just don't care about customer service.

Vanda Pachara Delight Pink

Yay!! I still love this vanda and will home it when it gets to big.. my offer still stands !! I LOVE that pink color also and have been looking for a good pink vanda but don't really run into them.
You should try coerulea, b/c clearly you do well with vandas. The leaf span is really short and I find my coerulea very easy growing. I have spotted leaves that have red tinge I think from high light so I am hoping for a spike soon. Really good job with her!

Ok, I'll remember you.

Lovely!

Oh, well...
The flowers are all open, but they look nothing like last year's bloom.
It seems as if they took after ascocentrum parent this time. Flowers are tiny and the color is very much washed out.
So much for all that watering and anticipation.

That's a shame.

That appears to be one happy vanda. Love those roots!
