Thank you everyone, I will go to that forum now.....the plant has a tag on it, but does not list the parentage or variety, just a few numbers. I've added the only decent picture I could take to my profile.
It's definetly a Vanda and yes they are addicting. I started with a Phalaenopsis and I got hooked on to them; however my mother had a huge Cattleya specimen in our backyard back in my home country.
We have quite a number of people that grow vandas here - Check out the Vanda Alliance Forum or you can also go to the search option at the task bar at the top of the page - click on it and type in Vanda and a list of past threads will be revealed
well S_CGoodgirl for starters... welcome to the OB! while I am no Vanda expert, seems like our members are eager to help, I am sure here you'll find what you are looking for.
