wow striking colour.
that is one neat looking arrangement there too

what a beautiful sight.
How did you encourage the roots to grow downward?
I have about 12 different renanthera.
the vietnamica roots either grow upward or sideway, it becomes very hard to give it water like the other ones.

Love it. Probably one of the more spectacular flowering orchids.

Hien,

I hang it ten feet high in the greenhouse in full sun. Spray it each day. Spray with fertilizer once or twice weekly.

Very interesting, Peter.
The color is amazing!

re: hummingbirds, I saw several at the garden where I work last week and they were going nuts over the (white) Polygonatum, which sorta surprised me. (Oh, BTW, Brian - good you waited a week - it's now much more in full bloom, as are the Arisaema. PS - anyone else who wants to come visit is always welcome, just PM me!)

Very good, Dot!

It is philippinense x imshootiana.

WOW!!!! What a beauty, I love all the roots popping up everywhere. I'm always facinated by the roots of the vanda alliance plants
