Vanda denisoniana
|
Vanda denisoniana is endemic in China, from the Yunnan province down to northern Indochina. The common name of this orchid is Lady Denison Londesborough's Vanda, the wife of Albert Denison Londesborough, an English Orchid enthusiast from the 1800's.
Arne bought this specimen early this year, in March to be exact. This orchid thrive in hot to cool climate and produces a waxy or to me, marzipan-like flowers. Each flower does exude a faint vanilla-like fragrant. I should also point out, that Arne made this orchid basket himself! Another by-product of his orchid hobby.

| A) July 30th. Two clear flower buds getting ready to open. We started by placing this orchid under lights but when the weather got warmer, it is hanging outside and receiving the warmth of the summer sun. |
 |
| B) A day out in the sun and the flowers opened up. |
 |
| C) The flowers look like 'buttercups' on this day. |
 |
| D) A day hanging outside in the Baltimore summer sun, July 31st. |
 |
| E) By August 8th, the flowers are fully opened. |
 |
| F) The flower petals are thick and reminds me of marzipan-like texture. |
 |
| G) This final picture, shows the entire orchid in our home-made orchid basket. And yes, Arne made some of his orchid basket these days. Some extra pieces of wood came to good use! |
