Orchid of the day: Ascofinetia Cherry Blossom Carmela

Ascofinetia Cherry Blossom 'Carmela'


Our Ascofinetia Cherry Blossom 'Carmela' or it is now officially called Vanda Cherry Blossom 'Carmela', is in full bloom today. It has nine flower spikes and at least one hundred and sixty flowers. Here is the link to my May 26, 2014 post, which shows how small this orchid was. This orchid has a keiki, which is a 'baby' plant that has generated from the stem the mother plant, hence the term, keiki. This hybrid, is a cross between Neofinetia falcata x Ascocentrum ampullaceum, do not have a scent.
