Vanda roxburghii (tesselata)

[Mahon]

Ok, so I finally got the pics of my enormous Vanda roxburghii, and here they are...

This species is from India, and is used for many "medicinal" cures... it is a beautiful species, and one of my favorite Vandaceous orchids...

This plant is approximately 8 feet tall. The plant itself starts at about 1 foot off the ground. I am 6'1", so that gives you a rough perspective on how large this plant is. The roots, if they were not to be tied into a ball, would hang about 5 extra feet, but because I cannot get it on a high enough branch, the roots are tied.

Ok, enough said, any questions about this species, I think we know who to talk to...

Here are the flowers and plant:


(This one is a biggie, sorry... =( ) - Not to worry...I resized it
