Holcoglossum kimballianum
The species used to be known as Vanda kimballianum and could be found in highlands in south China and Thailand.
The plant belongs to a friend of mine who is good at taking care of some cool growing orchids. According to his experience, the species comes from high mountains, but it still does well in lowlands, which encourages me to look for one plant to grow!

Swamper and snow,
You have to wait for several days to see the image. I will pay a visit to my friend and then take a photo next week.

Looks like a terete type vanda which would love full sun, I wonder how it would do in a subtropical area. If I were a betting man I'd bet it would do ok.

Swamper,
I just asked Dr. Motes about this guy today, and was told that he hasn't even tried it recently because they are such poor performers in our area.  So there you have it. Sorry that it wasn't the answer you were probably looking for...you're not alone...it wasn't the right answer for me either. |
