Vanda coerulea x pumila

[Djthomp28]

So far so good with this Vanda from Diamond Orchids. I am undecided about this first time bloomer.

The color is really hard to capture. So I am posting pics under two different lights. The one with the lighter background is closer to the true dusty purple color. I will try to get some under natural lights later.

Here is a pic in the day light. I think "cute" fits.

What is your culture? Not in a basket with no bark?

Nope. this came from Diamond orchids potted in bark (orchiata or kiwi) and i plan to keep it that way. I water it like my cattleyas letting it dry to some degree between watering. I believe Vanda coerulea can be grown in pots. Maybe one of the Vanda growers can confirm.

a bit 'non-descript' for me.
