Also to Pheli a friend of mine grow the vandarum very well in Hawaii (same elevation as Carmelas)

Thanks for your information.
But the second one looks more like V. Miss Joaquim than teres.
Here is the photo of my P. teres. |

Yours looks a little darker, but safe to say it is a P. teres. Someone recently showed a alba one as well

BTW - Just to throw this into the convo -
V. Miss Joaquim is a primary hybrid of V. hookeriana X V. teres

Ah, well it is certainly possible that what I thought I had as P. teres is V. Miss Joaquim. What would be the distinguishing charecteristics?

How does your P. teres grow? Does it grow multiple growths or keikis on it? I just saw one on the classifieds with 25 growths on it...I wasn't sure if this meant alot of them stuck in one pot, or just one with 25 keikis that have grown up. Or do they grow in the sympodial fashion rather than then monopodial way like most vanda types? I am a bit confused...I am just trying to expand my knowledge. Thanks.
David, sorry i can't help, I don't know which characteristics to look for, but either way you have a gorgeous flower!

I have only had mine for a little over a year, and in the Pacific Northwest I am sure it is slower growing. So far it is a single monopodial plant. Technically they are all monopodial, but some through lots of side branches, keikis, or whatever. The uniflora and the vandarum branch a lot for me whereas the pedunculata not so much, but gets really atll quickly (like 6').

Sounds intriguing. I already added it to the top of my list....but that means waiting until I move and get my new growing area set up so I will just have to wait. Thought I would ask though for the future, so thanks for clarifying for me!

Hi David,
I bought P. pedunculata a year ago; it does reasonably well but so far I don't see any sign of flowering. Also I can't find out much about how to grow it. Does it need a resting period or not? My plant is about 50 cm tall: is that big enough for flowering?

They are gorgeous but hard to find. I've wanted some forever.
