I've never grown a Vanda but one of the most spectacular orchids I've ever seen was a massive Vanda coerulescens - it must have been almost a meter tall, easily over 2 meters wide surrounded by smaller offshoots, and literally covered top to bottom in thin elegant blue flowers. The root system was as interesting and impressive as the shoot. I've often wanted to grow one since then, but the combination of very high light and low temperatures it requires would make it too challenging for me.
