Orchid of the day: Vanda Stephen Scott Young

Vanda Stephen Scott Young



Vanda Stephen Scott Young, is a primary hybrid between Vanda tessellata and Vanda testaceaThis hybrid was made quite recently and registered as late as 2015. As I have mentioned in my post two year ago, the flowers have a tendency to get pollinated by ants. Once this happens, the bright blue color will fade and the entire flower will wilt.



A) The entire orchid 'hanging' out in our backyard in August this year.

B) Magnificent root system. Always impressive to me.



C) We were rewarded with thirteen flowers this year.

D) Beautiful flowers with distinct purple lips.

E) A beautiful picture this past summer. Our Vanda Stephen Scott Young swaying under the dogwood tree together next to our Spanish moss.
