Anyone have any Silver Vase orchids?
Hello all! I was just curious if any of you happen to have the Silver Vase orchids? I have one I got for Valentine's Day, named 'Miss Saigon'. If you do have any I would love to see pictures!

Is "Silver Vase" a grower's name?

I've never heard of them. I have a vanda in a clear glass vase.

Silver vase is actually a brand. They have a website. No. 'Miss Saigon' is a icy yellow colored orchid with a bright yellow center. I believe Silver Vase is a popular box store type brand. Just curious if anyone else had some orchids from them and how well they are doing, etc.

Silver Vase is indeed the producer of the much hated Blue Mystique blue-dyed Phals.

I just bought one for my parents. It was a good price and in great health (if my parents put it near a window, it may remain in good health). Even better, if my parents so wish as to find the name for it, they can look it up on the website and, voila, a named orchid.
I went back to see if they had any left after Valentine's Day but it seems as if they sold them all.

I'm sorry that I didn't take a picture of it before giving it away. I rarely take pictures of orchids, for some reason.

I have one by this brand. It bloomed for a year and half straight. I ignore it but it won't die. it is dark purple with white center and fragrant.

Miss Saigon
Go to my recent post "Lots of phals" by gjanick. I also purchased a couple of Silver Vase phals. I have a pic of 'Miss Saigon' attached in my post. They appear to be of excellent quality. You can easily identify each phal. online in their Silver Vase Orchids website. So yes, each plant has an identity and name! Greg.
