V. Amoena - Orchid Board

dgenovese1 · #1 10-12-2008, 01:16 AM

Vanda Amoena is a naturally occurring hybrid between V. coerula and V. tessellata. It is my understanding that when naturally found, it is V. amoena; however when it is cultivated, it is V. Amoena, as I have it here.

This is the first time mine has bloomed since last October, and if I remember correctly, the blooms do take on more of a blue hue as they mature.

Enjoy!

That's a fantastic primary hybrid! Ugh, I wish I had more room to grow more vandas (only have one species vanda now, and I can only imagine how much space I would need to accommodate even more than). Does this one carry any of V. tessellata's fragrance? Even if the answer is no, the flowers are still stunning.

A beautiful blue with nice veining. I have over 20 in the vandaeous family with no room for more but......Guess I'll just have to build another g/h. Has anyone heard that before?
