Not in bloom but WOW!!!
I decided this was mine as it came through the front door to our auction today... 
It is:
V. Adisak x V Doctor Anek
(V Rasri Gold x V coerulea)(V Fuch's Delight x V Ponpimol)
The keiki is almost as big as some of my full grown vandas!
This plant weighs ALOT and is close to 7 ft in length!

That is pretty rooty! Great plant, can't wait to see the flowers! You might want to tie those roots in a knot so you can actually look at it without breaking your neck

I have seen many vandas grow bigger like that here in our country. hanging things But no flowers. or rarely .. WE grow some tall vandas on the grounds. With some stick support for it.They bloom frequenlty.. And lasts about two months.

I've learned through Orchidwiz that this cross has a name!!!
It's V. Kultana Fantasy
Here a pic I found online:
http://www.worldfulloforchids.nl/V&#...%20IMG_783.JPG
but the photo in Orchidwiz is a much brighter pink, almost looks like V. Pat Delight, shown here:
http://www.malibuorchid.org/Ribbons/...Delight-_-.jpg
I look forward to seeing what mine looks like when it blooms I'm hoping for what's shown in the first picture, as I have a stunning V. Pat Delight already
