Holcoglossum flavescens x Vanda coerelescens
|
This is a primary hybrid between the rather compact Vanda coerulescens with pale bluish
flowers on very long stems and the miniature species Holcoglossum flavescens which has short stems with attractive
mostly white flowers. The result is a
plant with a stature resembling the Holcoglossum
parent while the lilac flowers are similar to the Vanda parent. This is a
recently made hybrid and has not yet been registered at this time. Once
registered it will receive a proper name.
This plant is a recent acquisition from Peter T. Lin and it
already had an emerging flower stem when it arrived in March.
 |
| A) Five flowers in bloom in late April. |
 |
| B) The flowers are typical Vanda-looking. |
 |
| C) Three flower buds at the top of the stem. |
 |
| D) Close up of the blooms. |
 |
| E) Seven flowers opened in early May. |
 |
| F) We had a total of eight flowers but they never bloomed at the same time. |
Until next time, have a great weekend! We are having a really nice one in Baltimore so far.
