A Frilly Vanda for your Enjoyment!

Vanda Maria Bos joined my collection in October 2011 from RF Orchids. This is the second time it blooms for me. I am not a big fan of the round-petaled vandas; hence, my collection of vandas is rather small. I fell in love with this unabashedly "I'm frilly and girly and pink and bright and sparkly and I'm not ashamed of it," bloom. Unlike my subdued Laelias, this Vanda is all sparkle. I. ABSOLUTELY. LOVE. IT.

Photos were taken this afternoon. I hope you enjoy

The whole plant.

I am new to vandas but even I can tell that this is a special one.

Ooh, I love this one. Very pretty indeed. Way to grow

Beautiful! I love it and I really like how you described her.."I'm frilly and girly and pink and bright and sparkly and I'm not ashamed of it,"!!
