Vanda barnesii
|
Vanda barnesii is
a “new” species and was identified as late as 2012 by Carson Barnes, hence its
name barnesii. Actually, Arne obtained this seedling
directly from Carson Barnes in 2015.
V. barnesii is a
cool growing Vanda from higher elevations in the Philippines. It is smaller in size than most Vandas and
has long lasting 7 - 8 cm (3 inch) flowers that are white with thin brown
lines. This year our plant is blooming
for the first time with four flowers.

Today, the flowers are still blooming since these flowers are known to be long lasting. I enjoyed putting this post together today while I'm away on vacation on Sanibel Island. Sharing a photo of the beach with everyone here.
Until my next post, have a great week!
