Well, lucky for me, my birthday is in two days, and my grandmother decided to try her hand at 5 new orchids a couple of weeks ago. Well, she determined they do not like her and gave one to a neighbor with the other 4 to come to me. I have gotten one of them already which is some sort of vanda or ascocenda. I got to see it when it was near the end of it's flowering and it had orangeish/yellowish flowers that were similar in size to my Princess Mikasa. Anyway, the tag says Vanda Hybrid as the plant was bought on the side of the road, but then there is another tag at the top that appears to say Ascocenda. I guess without pictures we can't really speculate what it is....
Anyway, the really exciting part is that this baby has several basal (not sure if this is the right word) kekis growing. Not, 1, 2, 3 or 4, but 5!!!! I have never seen them on a vanda in person so I am thrilled
They don't appear to have their own roots yet, but it is hard to determine with all those kekis and other roots! Any advice on how to remove them (when they have their own roots) and what to do with them?
