Semi-Terete Ascda vs. Strap Leaf

[Don Perusse]

In an earlier thread (11/14/08) I posed the question of the difference between a terete and strap leaf vanda. In between I discovered that my newly acquired Ascda. Nora Tokunaga 'Lemon Pie' was a "Semi-terete". Swamper wanted to see what it was like so here it is. Note: the leaves on a terete is pencil like being almost round where as a Semi-terete is opened a little unlike a pencil (round) or a strap leaf which is opened rather flat.



As you can see it has a spike beginning to form and I will post pic. when it blooms.
