Orchid of the day: Vanda cristata

Vanda cristata


Arne acquired this plant in February 2018 as a seedling. It is  a compact Vanda which hails from Nepal and the mountainous regions of India and China. It prefers temperate to cool temperatures. This plant is blooming for the first time and the flowers emit a pleasant fragrance, especially in the morning. We believe the flowers may get somewhat larger over the years.

A) First time blooming in our care this June. Three flowers only.



B) A side profile.



C) Doing well in the wooden basket.



D) A closer look at the three individual flowers.


That's all for this post. Until next time, have a good week!
