soooo... which are we doing or substituting? I'm so confused now... :hmm

I already ordered mine from Hauserman, I also have an order in from Oak Hill .

I have a book, Vandas and Ascocendas by David Grove, that says there are three species of Rhynchostylis. 1.coelestis, 2.retusa, and 3.gigantia.
I hope this helps.

I think we are ordering either or, which ever works out best for us. :biggrin:

The reqirements are about the same. They require less light then regular Vandas, but the need a drop in temp at night.
A drawback of the coelestis is that its flowers last only one or two weeks.

I look at it this way. Everyone has valid reason for not wanting to get a certain species and as far as I can tell they all have the same growing habits. So get the one you feel is the best choice. What else can we do?
