I like these small Vandaceous plants. They need little room, are vigorous growers and generally their flowers have vibrant colors, like this orange!

Oh wow, that orange is so bright! I love these guys because of their colors, but I don't know this genus very well. Do they need the same conditions as vandas (i.e. light)?

Yes, Camille, they are grown the way the regular Vandas are! These small guys are very cool to have, but you need lots of light!

Looks like I can't grow them then. Don't have enough light october to april, and I don't have powerful grow lights.

Allors, tu devais considérer l'idée de vivre plus au sud! En France, Marseille serait un bon choix, non?

Good French Mauro!
Oui, le sud c'est le meilleur endroit pour les plantes. Hopefully I'll move to the south once I graduate and get a job, since most of the seed companies in France are near Toulouse and Avignon. Nice perfect orchid weather!

I like these as well Mauro, but have decided to stay with Angraecoides. Otherwise I'd sure be tempted.

Merci, Camille! I lived in France for a while (Paris), working for a multinational company.
