Vanda lamellata
 

Although the blooms of this species are supposedly fragrant, I can never detect any scent. This one's a fairly small-growing species (about 1/5 the size of my V. merrillii).

Nice! About how tall is it?

love those red highlights. Vey Pretty!

Ted, from the base of the plant to the top, it's 10 inches tall. The roots, however, are close to a couple feet long. So even though I've got the plant growing in a clay pot instead of a basket, it still needs to be suspended to accommodate the inconveniently long root system.

It is a lot shorter than I would have guessed. Yes, vandaceous root systems do get quite long.

Very beautiful and the spike is perfect.

This one is the var. boxallii

Well done Steve !!

Thank you for the identification, Philippe. I purchased it a couple of years ago, but the vendor didn't state that it was any particular variety.

Yep...it's var. boxalii. My favorite form is var. remediosae, with its yellow-tinged flowers. :)

Either way, that's a nice vanda. You grow some awesome Vandaceous plants.

Thanks, Carl! I have a soft spot for a few of the species--even though, given my less-than-tropical conditions, they tend to be a pain in the posterior to keep happy. :-)
