This one is a true blue beauty

Unfortunately, the tag was lost by it's previous owner so it's a NOID for me

Maybe somebody can answer a question for me:
when this bloom opened, all of the petals were "leaning' backwards. I had to maneuver them into the correct position to take the

Any idea what might cause that to happen? It's never happened before with this one

I don't know the name of your vanda, but i had to reposition the petals on my phal to take pics, they were leaning back and chilling out

I always wondered why that happened!

I've had a couple of Phals do that too. Would be interested to know why also.

I don't know what causes the petals to go back but I do know that the color on the flower is BEAUTIFUL.

I really like the ruffles on this one. Maybe it was just so eager to open up, it over did it.

I have a Vanda like yours that do that too...never known why.... The name of mine is V. Rotschildiana, maybe also yours?

I've found a few pictures of vandas that look just like this one but unless I'm positive about it, I won't tag it...it remains a NOID.

I don't mind...I'm not entering it in any shows

I LOVE this one Sue! I love ALL your vandas.... I need to take a vacation to Florida... I think

Suzanne, to bad you don't have the name, but it sure is beautiful. Great picture. Thanks for sharing

I have a couple that still have yet to bloom for me and they have names. Nice roots, good light , fert. etc. Just stubborn I guess. Patience will prevail.
