Vanda Somsri Gold

Saw this vanda in a nursery, and it looks splendid in the sun. Large yellow flowers, who can resist. So it came home with me together with some other orchids.

Looks gorgeous!!! Would have came home with me as well! :biggrin:

Nice!

I would have brought this home too!

How much do vandas cost over there?

I remember seeing lots of blooming vandas sold at the airport in Thailand.

I really wish there was small vanda plant that makes large flowers and does well indoor.

By the way, it is nice to see clean leaves on that plant.

There are lots of super large vandas hanging in the greenhouse in Brooklyn. All loaded with Thai diamond fungus on literally all the leaves. yuck! I am so scared of going there now as I'm afraid I might bring tons of fungal spores on my clothes, skin and hair with me and transfer them on my plants.

Oh, no! lol

Gorgeous! We don't find vandas that easily here.
I had to search for mine.

Got 4 plants that day. 2 vandas, 1 dendrobium and 1 cattleya. Had to re-arrange all my planting space for my collection. Space is so limited.

Thanks. Vandas are quite common here in Singapore, since we are located on the equatorial belt, and Vandas like it hot and sunny. Prices of Vandas are quite affordable here. A good specimen will cost about USD $20 to USD$40. Rare ones could cost more.
In Thailand, it will cost even cheaper.

When you are in Thailand, you should also see quite alot of Vandas in flask. Those should be easy to transport back home. But they will take years to reach blooming size, and hardening plantlets in your climate might be challenging.

I find Vandas rewarding to grow. Take your time to look, and part of the pleasure comes from the searching process.

Here's some more pictures.
