Nakamotoara Newberry Apricot

[Fairorchids]

I have had this plant two years. It had a single spike when I bought it in June 2013; it set two spikes in 2014, and it has 4 spikes this year, albeit not synchronized.

It is a simply hybrid:

Ascocentrum curvifolium x Vandofinetia Virgil (= N falcata x Vanda cristata)

The curvifolium influence has increased the flower count significantly, and contributed to the spectacular color. The influence of V cristata is very pronounced in the lip color & structure.

I happen to have both Asctm curvifolium & V cristata in bloom too, see separate threads under the Vandaceous header.
