Ascda. Princess Mikasa 'Indigo'
 

I bought this in early December and it's been in bloom constantly except for a two week period. You can tell by the color of the leaves that it's been getting bright light. This is the first time it's had two spikes.

What beautiful flowers! That blue is electrifying:yikes:!

awesome!

That is stunning!

What a lovely lady!!

this is absolutely beautiful! thanks for sharing!!

Beautiful - love the colour.

Wow that'll knock your socks off! How bright is bright? I live in Pompano, and my Ascda. is getting bright shade under a little tree. Do you think it needs any direct sun?

Gage, my vandas are on a screened patio with a screen roof. They get bright light most of the day but the screen filters out 25%-30% of the light. If yours is under a tree you might want to hang it where it will get direct light in the mornings only. By the way Princess Mikasa is actually more purple the picture shows.

That is certainly bright. I don't think I can conjure anything that consistent throughout the day. It seems it's either Full sun, full shade, or full sun part of the day, and shade part of the day. Do you think full sun part of the day is ok?

That's a real happy looking plant! I have heard the princess mikasa is a really good bloomer. I need more orchid space!

Gage, you can give vandas full sun in the morning up until maybe 11 am or so. I've heard that afternoon sun is too intense. Experiment a little. Good luck.

Ok, I will see if I can find something with morning sun. Thanks!

I put mine on a west facing portch and it does fine, but it does get some dappled light.

WOW! :love:
GORGEOUS! good growing!

That's a nice color of blue. It's good to know that Vanda's rather not stand in the afternoon sun. I will look out for that then.

Tucker, that is very impressive.

The colors, oh I think I might faint!:faint:

What a great blue. Love it.
