Ascocenda Mimi Palmer X Merrillii X Insigni
 

Bought as bloomless bargain (about $6.6 / Php300) then it re-bloomed unexpectedly after a month.

Unfortunately 2 out of 5 buds blasted (as you can see). Anyway it's okey at least I saw what she has :D

Very pretty blooms. Increased watering while they're in bud and bloom helps prevent them from blasting.:)

:drool::drool::drool:

Does it have a nice scent?

Thanks for your comment June. Actually I water my chids very well in the morning (about 10 - 15mins spraying) and in the afternoon only when I got home earlier after work/service.

I'll hire some of my customers here to water my chids in the afternoon (in exchange they will play/surf the internet for 1hr :D)

Naoki,

Yes, nice scent but very slight.

Oh my! That's lovely!

You can actually see traits from all three parents (the colors from Mimi Palmer, the waxy texture of the merrillii, and the big lip from insignis). Very nice plant, but I think it's a pure Vanda, not an ascocenda. :)

That is a very interesting cross for sure. Very beautiful !

But I agree with Carl. I think it is a Vanda too , not an ascocenda. Mini Palmer, insignis and merillii are all Vandas and petals/sepals shapes are pretty much Vandas.

Thanks for your correction carl & philippe. I just followed the tag on the plant and probably they mislabelled it.

Absolutely stunning! Thanks for sharing!
