Vanda coerulea

[smweaver]

I lost my Vanda coerulea years ago, so I was very happy to finally find another one. Cut the spike off yesterday to let the plant have a rest, but I noticed this morning that it looks like a couple more are starting to just push their way out from the leaf axils. Lovely shade of blue to these.

I agree. The blue color is outstanding and it is a rare 'true' blue, not a purple blue. I am not sure that I would have the courage to cut the spike off. Beautiful plant!
