Orchid of the day: Vanda vietnamica

Vanda vietnamica

Vanda (Christensonia) vietnamica was discovered in 1993 in Vietnam.  We have this orchid for at least three years now. These photos were taken in September and I seem to run out of time putting my posts together lately! My first post about our Vanda vietnamica was on September 17,  2017. Since this orchid comes from the low-lands of southern Vietnam, this species likes warm conditions all year around and less light than typical Vandas.  

A) Three flowers for this year.

B) Closer look of the 'apple' green petals and white lacy lip.

C) Doing well in the wooden basket. Lovely roots sprawling out if the box.

I hope you enjoyed seeing the flowers of our Vanda vietnamica. Until next time, have a great day!
