V. Amoena
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. ![Smile](http://www.orchidboard.com/community/images/smilies/new/smile.gif) 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.
